Prime minister
After German occupation of Albania, on 6 November 1943, Berlin announced that the regents and the assembly had formed a government headed by Rexhep Mitrovica, an active member of the Balli Kombëtar from Kosovo.[3]
With control over Kosovo and the creation of an Independent State of Albania, Mitrovica exacted revenge on the Serb colonists, killing and expelling thousands of Serbs.[4]
On 18 July 1944 Rexhep Mitrovica resigned due to illness.[5][failed verification]
