History
The party was created by Basha's faction three days after the decision taken by Court of Appeal on 11 June 2024 to return Democratic Party seal and logo to Sali Berisha. They consider the Court of Appeal decision as illegal and have appealed it to Supreme Court.[1][3] On 3 March 2025, CEC registered them in the 2025 elections as "Euroatlantic Coalition", with Endri Hasa as leader.[2][4] When founded the Euroatlantic Democrats had 4 deputies in the National Assembly: Lulzim Basha, Orjola Pampuri, Merita Bakiu and Gëzim Ademaj.[5][6]
