He built schools, roads which didnot previously exist, and hospitals. Had he kept his throne, 50 years of Enver Hoxha's opressive dictatorship would have been avoided, and Albania might have been a much more developed and happy country. He survived 55 assassination attempts by tribal chieftains, communists, and fascists. I think he should be interred with honour in Tirana. Most of Europe's monarchies were started by tribal chieftains and warlords. During his 10 year reign, King Zog did more for Albania than the Turks did in more than 400 years.
