Adil Çarçani (5 May 1922 – 13 October 1997) was an Albanian politician who served as the 24th Prime Minister of Albania during the Communist era led by Enver Hoxha.
He served as the titular head of the Albanian government in the years immediately preceding the fall of Communism.
[2][3] On December 18, 1981, immediately after the violent death of Mehmet Shehu, Çarçani became the 24th Prime Minister of Albania.
He remained in that position until February 1991, two months after Communism started falling in Albania, when he resigned after mobs tore down the statue of Enver Hoxha, the founder and leader of Communist Albania from 1946 to 1985.
[5] His sentence was commuted to five years of house arrest, however, as he was beginning to suffer from health problems.
