Albanian American Civic League

The Albanian American Civic League (AACL, Albanian: Lidhja Qytetare Shqiptaro-Amerikane)Шаблон:Sfn is the only Albanian American lobby group in Washington, D.C., representing the concerns and interests of the Albanian people in the United States and the Balkans. The Civic League was founded by former Congressman Joseph DioGuardi and a board of Albanian Americans in 1989. Since then, it has actively and effectively lobbied the United States Congress in an effort to influence U.S. foreign policy in the Balkans, including for the independence of Kosovo.[1]
