The Albania Becomes Movement (, LSHB) is a centre-right political party in Albania, founded by lawyer and activist Adriatik Lapaj, on 18 September 2023. The party emerged from a civic movement aiming to establish genuine democracy, real pluralism, and the rule of law in Albania.
Adriatik Lapaj serves as the founder and leader of Shqipëria Bëhet. Known previously for his active role in civil society, Lapaj emphasizes the need for political competition, the enactment of a referendum law, and the depoliticization of public administration.
History.
Since its foundation, the party has engaged in nationwide consultations, organizing forums in all 61 municipalities of Albania and reaching out to the diaspora. These efforts aim to involve citizens and experts in legislative advocacy and public debates, strengthening the voice and rights of the populace.
In December 2024, Shqipëria Bëhet extended its outreach to the Albanian diaspora in Michigan, USA, discussing opportunities for investment in key sectors like agriculture and livestock. This initiative seeks to create a bridge between Albania and its diaspora, encouraging contributions to the country's sustainable development.
Shqipëria Bëhet announced its participation in the 2025 Albanian parliamentary election with candidates across multiple constituencies. The party's campaign focuses on electoral reforms, anti-corruption measures, and enhancing direct democracy. Adriatik Lapaj has emphasized the need for a new political alternative that prioritizes civic engagement and institutional transparency.
On 15 October 2024, Adriatik Lapaj announced that Shqipëria Bëhet had been officially registered as a political party in the Albanian court system. This milestone enables the party to participate formally in the country's political processes.
In the 2025 Albanian parliamentary election, it will run under the "Initiative Albania Becomes" Coalition, with Nisma Thurje and League for the Rights of Albanian Workers as coalition partners.
