Shkodėr in Albania ALBANIE albania. shkoder Informations and links Shkodėr82 000 hab.![]() ![]() Map Shkodėr Photos Shkodėr ------------------------------- Shkodėr or Shkodra is a city located on Skadar Lake in northwestern Albania in the District of Shkodėr, and is the capital of the County of Shkodėr. It is one of the oldest and most historic towns in Albania, as well as an important cultural and economic center. Shkodėr's estimated population as of 2004 is 90,000; if the surrounding region is included the population is 110,000. Etymology The name of the city Shkodėr, also known as Skutari, derives from Latin scutarii. literally "shieldmakers," referring to a Roman legion created by Constantine. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.) Between 1990 and 1992 Albania ended 46 years of xenophobic Communist rule and established a multiparty democracy. The transition has proven difficult as successive governments have tried to deal with high unemployment, widespread corruption, a dilapidated infrastructure, powerful organized crime networks with links to high government officials, and disruptive political opponents. International observers judged parliamentary elections in 2001 to be acceptable and a step toward democratic development, but identified serious deficiencies. Some of these were addressed through reforms in the Albanian electoral code prior to the nationwide municipal elections in 2003..
