Summary/Abstract: The main rules of Albanian private international law are regulated by the Law on Private International Law Act of 2011 (Law 10.428 of 2 June 2011) (PILA), Civil Procedures Code (Law no.8116 of 29 March 1996) (CPC) and by a number of bilateral and international agreements.The Albanian PILA constitutes the main body of rules governing civil and commercial relations with foreign elements. The law incorporates the general principles of private international law and it offers solutions quite similar to the ones found in the EU regulations and Private International Codes of other countries in Europe. The Albanian PILA is coexisting with the provisions of CPC which unfortunately did not gounder changes to create harmony between the legal acts. Although CPC is not the main source of law for private international law issues, it is still applied by the Albanian judges also on the cases involving foreign elements.
