The German army's propaganda, as well as that of Tirana's quisling administration, stated at the time that the anti-fascist resistance and the partisan fight had been wiped out.
Delegates would be democratically chosen by open vote in liberated territories and army formations, while they would be appointed by county or city governments in non-liberated areas.
Given the diversity of its participants and their geographic representation, the Përmet anti-fascist Congress was a national or constitutional assembly whose aim was to elect the legislative and executive authorities that would administer the country until the conclusion of the war, and subsequently in freed Albania.
The congress initially elected the General National Liberation Council (KPNÇ) as the highest governmental body; the principal legislative forum, and the only sovereign representation of the Albanian people, according to historical sources.
The decisions of the Përmet Congress showed that LANÇ and the UNÇSH, as its main driving force, had created the belief that they would be the winners of the war and would govern the country after the victory.
