Former Albanian President Bujar Nishani, who was often criticized for his center-right political affiliation from the leftist coalition, died following a serious health problem, the country's presidential office said Saturday. He was 55.

President Ilir Meta wrote on Facebook that he had learned "with sadness and deep regret that President Bujar Nishani passed away."

Nishani served as president from 2012 until 2017. At 45, he was elected as the youngest and sixth president in post-communist Albania, supported only by lawmakers from the center-right Democratic party of then-Prime Minister Sali Berisha. Opposition lawmakers boycotted the vote, demanding a consensual candidate.Before that, Nishani served as the country's interior and justice ministers.

"European Albania is the greatest expectation of our citizens because a European Albania will be the country of guaranteed freedom, a European Albania will be the country where the rights are protected from law and order, the country where the free market strengthens businessmen every day," said Nishani in his inauguration speech as president.
