78 uL stration laws dealing with state administration in Albania 10034, dated 22.12.2008, and the law nr.45 / 2015, dated 30.04.2015. As the second step, we have perceived the intended purposes of these above-mentioned laws. Where we have reached the conclusion the lustration of state administration was/ is not their exclusive intended purpose. These steps are closed by ranking these lustration laws in  achieved their purposes,  partially achieved their purposes, and not achieved their purposes infra. While the third step was finding reasons why these laws have failed to achieve successfully their purposes. On this account, we have found that because of how these lustration laws were designed and implemented, they did not achieve their purposes. This three-step method, by being well organized and systematic in our thoughts and actions, was successful also, for establishing the conceptual structure underlying this paper, which begins with an overview of lustration in Albania. Thus, the first section “Overview of Lustration in Albania” deals with the ascertainment of all lustration initiatives taken in Albania from 1990-2015. Moreover, to establish a base for our analysis, as e second section, we have performed a detailed review of that available literature on the lustration laws taken in Albania. Whereby reviewing them we have deduced some features, limitations, and gaps in existing research about the Albanian lustration case. This detailed overview of lustration in Albania and the literature review process has helped us in establishing the third section, i.e., Methodology, which deals specifically with the determination of the methods used in accomplishing the aim of this paper. All this preliminary work helped us to set up the fourth section, the central section of this paper, where are identified lustration laws dealing also with the state administration in Albania and their real intended purpose; found out whether they had achieved or not the purposes for which they were brought into existence; the ranking of these laws in achieved their purposes, partially achieved their purposes, and not achieved their purposes; and will be concluded reasons why these lustration laws achieved their purposes, partially achieved their purposes, or, did not achieved their purposes. Surely, conclusions and recommendations will be an important part.   Hereby this paper, by focusing soleus on lustration laws dealing with state administration and not generally in transitional justice in Albania like most authors did infra, by methodology used, i.e., a combination of classical legal research methods, i.e., interpretation, by archives used, e.g., archives of Mezini, Bezhani Commission infra, contributes in understanding some of the reasons why the lustration laws taken in Albania have failed to be successful in producing the intended purposes, e.g., lustration of state administration.  OVERVIEW OF LUSTRATION IN ALBANIA In our opinion, the law nr.7492, dated 08.06.1991 “The depoliticization of some state institutions” can be considered as the first Albanian law containing elements of lustration. This law was concerned to prohibit political activities in some of the most important state institutions, i.e., Parliament, Presidency, Council of Ministers, ministries, and so further4. Thus, based on this law, within 15 days all public employees, members of political parties, had to give their resignation from public offices. If not, they had to be dismissed. While who aspired to be employed in the above-mentioned institutions had to give a written declaration as an approval of their political disengagement.5 But regardless of the expressed aim of this law - ratio legis - the depoliticization of some state institutions and the term used … political parties… in our opinion this law was the first unintended attempt to purify some important state institutions from members of the onetime communist party. Because as we know just before 6 months of approval of this law, the People’s Assembly formally sanctioned the creation of opposition of political parties. Where the 4. Article 1. 5. Article 5.
