History

Since the establishment of the institution, the Ministry of Transport has been reorganized by joining other departments or merging with other ministries, thus making its name change several times. This list reflects the changes made since 1992:

  • Ministry of Transport and Communications (Ministria e Transporteve dhe Komunikacioneve) from 1992 to 1994
  • Ministry of Industry, Transport and Trade (Ministria e Industrisë, Transportit dhe Tregtisë) from 1994 to 1997
  • Ministry of Public Works and Transport (Ministria e Punëve Publike dhe Transporteve) from 1997 to 1999
  • Ministry of Transport (Ministria e Transporteve) from 1999 to 2002
  • Ministry of Transport and Communications (Ministria e Transporteve dhe Komunikacioneve) from 2002 to 2005
  • Ministry of Public Works, Transport and Communications (Ministria e Punëve Publike, Transporteve dhe Komunikacioneve) from 2005 to 2013
  • Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure (Ministria e Transportit dhe Infrastrukturës) from 2013 to 2017

The Ministry of Transport was dissolved in September 2017. The department of transportation was merged with the Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy, which carries out all the functions that it had until 2017.
