In Albania, it was considered a late decision compared to European countries,

In March 1992, the anti-communist opposition led by the Democratic Party won the elections. Ramiz Alia resigned as president of the country and was succeeded in this post by Sali Berisha himself, who thus became the first democratic leader of Albania since the time before the dictatorship.

Although the fall of the dictatorship in Albania was evaluated as a late decision compared to the countries of Europe, still today in the world 5 countries are still under communism.

Current markets in the world still under the communist regime:

Cuba – A country with a population of more than 11 million inhabitants. State control of the economy has nearly bankrupted the government, which owns almost all the means of production. It ranks among the lowest of all countries in South and North America in terms of economic freedom. The dissolution of the Soviet Union in the 1990s caused a severe economic crisis in Cuba.

North Korea – A country with a population of more than 25 million people. This country is governed on the basis of the Juche ideology, which translates into self-confidence. North Korea remains the most isolated country in the world. Many citizens in North Korea suffer from malnutrition.

Vietnam - A country with a population of more than 98 million people. Economic and political reforms have stimulated a rapid growth of the economy. Nearly 45 million people escaped poverty from 2002 to 2018, according to the World Bank. Many Chinese companies are relocating to this country, which has brought more jobs. Unlike other countries, Vietnam does not suffer from sanctions or a lack of investment.

China - A country with a population of more than 1.4 billion people. China remains one of the most powerful countries in the world. China plays a leading role in the region, but also across the globe. After the pandemic, clashes with the US have increased significantly.

Laos - A country with a population of more than 7 million people. This country is also run by a single party, which has brought about a slight economic growth in recent years. Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Laos has relied on Japan, China, Malaysia, but also France.
