Gramoz Pashko (11 February 1955 – 16 July 2006) was an Albanian economist and politician. He co-founded the Democratic Party of Albania in 1990 and later served as rector of the University of New York, Tirana. Pashko was married to Mimoza Ruli, sister of politician Genc Ruli.
Gramoz Pashko was the son of Josif Pashko.[1] He was a graduate of the University of Tirana.[2] He received a bachelor's degree in 1977, a master's degree in 1983 and a PhD in 1989, all in economics.[2]
Career
Pashko was the cofounder of the Democratic Party that was established in 1990.[1] In 1991, he served as the deputy prime minister and minister of economy in the cabinet led by the then prime minister Ylli Bufi.[3] A few months later, he quit the positions and the Democratic Party membership to form the Democratic Alliance Party. Gramoz Pashko decided to rejoin the Democratic Party, undergoing a vote on the structures of the latter. At the last congress of the Democratic Party, Pashko was elected a member of the National Council of the Democratic Party. Pashko also served as economic advisor to several left wing prime ministers.
