Albania’s former prime minister, Fatos Nano, the historic leader of the country’s left, died on Friday at age of 73, Prime Minister Edi Rama said on social networks
Nano passed away in a hospital in the capital Tirana after several days in a coma caused by respiratory complications, according to doctors.
Widely regarded as a liberal reformer, Nano championed institutional modernisation and Albania’s transition to a market economy.
But he also came under strong criticism from the European Union for his government’s failure to root out corruption and organised crime and was himself convicted of embezzling foreign aid.
