Description: (Deputy Prime Minister of Albania from 1946 to 1948)
Koçi Xoxe, an Albanian politician, held important positions in the People's Socialist Republic of Albania as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior. He sought to align Albania with Yugoslav leader Josip Broz Tito, aiming to join the Yugoslav federation. However, this alliance led to his downfall orchestrated by Enver Hoxha. Xoxe played a significant role in shaping post-World War II Albanian politics but met a tragic end through arrest, torture, and execution on charges of conspiring against the Albanian government.
