Its area is just over 160 square kilometers and has a population of 35,000. Its capital is Vaduz. The largest city is Schaan. The official language is standard German. The language used is a Germanic dialect. The National Holiday is August 15th.

Liechtenstein is a constitutional monarchy, inherited on democratic and parliamentary grounds. State power belongs to the Prince Regime and the people, as well as exercised by them with constitutional presuppositions (Article 2 of the 1921 Constitution). The Parliament (Landtag) is composed of 25 deputies. He exercises his rights in plenary parliamentary sessions.

Albania and the Liechtenstein Principality established diplomatic relations on 23 April 1993.

The last high-level exchange was a ministerial visit, on July 21, 2004, when a delegation from the Principality of Liechtenstein led by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Ernst Walsh, visited Tirana.

The principality has a foreign policy generally in the same vein as Switzerland. The Principality of Liechtenstein recognized Kosovo relatively quickly, shortly after Bern.
