ABSTRACT

“The country has suffered continuous invasions over the last 1000 years and by the end of the 14th century Albania was occupied by the Ottoman Empire. The subsequent efforts and insurrections for independence eventually brought about the proclamation of the independence of Albania in 1912. “Albania joined NATO in April 2009 and in June 2014 became an EU candidate. Albania in April 2017 received a European Commission recommendation to open EU accession negotiations following the passage of historic EU-mandated justice reforms in 2016. “In the 1955, the specialists of Military Topographic Group of Albania carried out the reconstruction and the densification of the IGM Net in order to grant the request for mapping at 1: 25 000 scale. The New Albanian Net, which was constituted from Triangulation and Leveling, was designed, rebuilt, measured, and calculated by the Military Topographic Institute of Albania during 1970–1985.
