History
The Balli Kombëtar was revived in Albania as a political party in the early 1990s after the fall of the dictatorship of Enver Hoxha. Founded under the leadership of Abas Ermenji, a surviving Ballist(Balli Kombëtar) who escaped from Albania when the communists declared victory in 1945. In 1996 it won 5 percent of the popular vote and two seats in parliament. It has since declined. In the 2001 elections it was part of the Union for Victory (Bashkimi për Fitoren) coalition which received 37.1% of the vote and 46 members of parliament.
The National Front has chapters in Kosovo, led by Sylejman Daka and in Macedonia, led by Vebi Xhemaili.
