History


In 1913-1914 Netherlands deployed military personnel to help set up the gendarmerie of the Provisional Government of Albania.

In 1946, Holland called upon the United Nations Security Council to bring to a halt incidents along the northern border of Greece, involving the Socialist People's Republic of Albania, Yugoslavia, Greece and Bulgaria.

The Socialist People's Republic of Albania started their diplomatic relations with the Netherlands, and eight other Western European countries, in 1970.
