Albanian Labour Party [Partia ë Punes ë Shqiperisë] (1946-92)

by Jorge Candeias

The flag of the Albanian Labour Party (Communist, founded in 1941) is red with the black letters PPSH. In 1992, the Xth Congress of the Party adopted the name of Socialist Party of Albania.

Jaume Ollé, 21 april 1999

SH is the abbreviation for Shqipërise (the Albanian word for "Albanian"). Therefore I think that there should not be a dot after the S.
