Timeline
In particular, a member of the Koleka clan was Spiro Jorgo Koleka (1879 or 1880–1940), a leader of the Albanian national movement and later interwar government minister.
Edi Rama, a maternal descendant of the Koleka family, said that the family is from Mirdita, and that the surname was derived from an ancestor named Kol Leka.
Koleka was born in the village of Vuno.
Spiro Koleka (7 July 1908 – 22 August 2001) was an important Albanian statesman, communist politician and a high-ranking military officer during World War II.
He was a civil engineer by profession.
After completing his secondary education in the Italo–Albanian college of San Demetrio Corone (Collegio of Sant'Adriano), in the Italian province of Cosenza, Spiro Koleka continued his higher education at the University of Pisa (1930–1934) where he graduated as a civil engineer.
After his return to Albania, he was involved in anti-Zogist and anti-Italian activities; in 1935 he participated in the Fier rebellion against King Zog and shortly after found himself arrested by the authorities.
During 1937–39 Spiro Koleka travelled extensively in Italy while taking an active part in the resistance against the Italian occupation of Albania.
Upon the Italian occupation (7 April 1939) he fled to Yugoslavia, but returned to Albania in December 1939.
During 1940–41 he began cooperating with the communist resistance underground while at the same time co-founding and running the Mani and Koleka Engineering Company.
Koleka was elected as a member of the General Council and of the General Staff of the Communist Party of Albania at the Labinot Conference (1943).
Spiro Koleka served as a parliament member in all legislatures from 1944 until 1990.
In May 1944, he was appointed Minister of Public Works at the Pennet Conference, officially in October as part of the first of Hoxha's governments.
Koleka was a member of the Politburo of the Party of Labor of Albania during the years 1948 to 1981.
As part of his political career he also served as Chairman of the State Planning Commission, Minister of Industry and Construction of Albania, as well as Vice Prime Minister.
British academics James Pettifer and Miranda Vickers report that Spiro Koleka was wholly or partly Greek, coming from the village of Himara, which is predominanlty ethnic Greek, which would make him one of the few members of the Greek minority serving in the Socialist People's Republic of Albania political system.
Spiro Koleka's family was from Vuno, and his clan has had a patriotic Albanian background.
In October 1948 he became Minister of Communications, and then also President of the State Planning Commission in November 1948.
He was a member of the Politburo.
Koleka was part of the Trade Delegation's visit to Moscow in 1949.
In November 1949 he became Deputy Prime Minister.
In the capacity of Deputy Prime Minister, Koleka presented in 1952 the very first Five-Year Plan for the economy.
Koleka was often accused by various members of the Greek minority for its role in the forced dislocation of their compatriots.
In 1966, he was again appointed chairman of the State Planning Commission.
Koleka's background and experience as a technocrat allowed him to lead numerous economic and political delegations of the time to many East European countries, including the Soviet Union.
Moreover, he was reported by the national and international press to be the chief architect of Albanian industrial development which was the backbone of the program of the Albanian Workers' Party after the Second World War.
