asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they recognise the Albanian royal family and support the efforts they are making towards national reconstruction. [HL3900]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office
(Lord Triesman)

The UK welcomes any efforts that help the development of Albania. Leka Zogu, the son of the former King of Albania Ahmet Zogu (King Zog), had some involvement with the Legality Movement and National Movement for Development, both political parties, following his return from exile in 2002. In February 2006, he announced his withdrawal from political life.
