Adriatik Lapaj

Adriatik Lapaj (born 9 June 1988) is an Albanian lawyer, activist and politician. He is the founder and leader of the political movement Lëvizja Shqipëria Bëhet, established in 2023.

Early life and education Lapaj was born in Albania and pursued his law degree at the University of Tirana. He began his activism at the age of 22 and has been actively involved in civil society initiatives for over 14 years.

Under Adriatik Lapaj's leadership, "Shqipëria Bëhet" has initiated a series of nationwide consultations. These efforts include organizing forums across all 61 municipalities in Albania and engaging with the diaspora. The primary goal is to involve citizens and experts in legislative advocacy and public debates, thereby amplifying the voice and rights of the populace.

In October 2024, the movement was officially registered as a political party in the Albanian court system, enabling it to participate formally in the country's political processes.

Public perception Lapaj has made significant headway in public opinion. A poll conducted by Euronews Albania in June 2024 found that 40.8% of participants had a positive perception of him, the highest among leaders of new political movements outside the traditional party duopoly.
