Following the Socialist Party's proposal for a new territorial division, the Democratic Party has also shared its draft proposing a division into 100 municipalities and 6 regions.
The draft was distributed to DP deputies by the co-chair of the Committee, Luciano Boçi.
"Honorable deputies, with the approval of the Chairman of the DP and the Chairman of the group, I am attaching the list of municipalities (100) presented in the report by our experts. Each one can then make their own statement. Thank you!", says Boç's message to the DP deputies.
According to the DP's version, the 100 municipalities will be organized into 6 regions:
Region 1 – Shkodër-Lezhe: 16 municipalities
Region 2 – Dibër-Kukës: 13 municipalities
Region 3 – Tirana-Durrës: 15 municipalities
Region 4 – Elbasan-Korça: 19 municipalities
Region 5 – Fier-Berat: 19 municipalities
Region 6 – Vlora-Gjirokastër: 18 municipalities.
The DP variant restores to the administrative map a number of municipalities that do not exist in the current territorial division, while in some regions an increase in the number of municipalities is foreseen.

In the Tirana region, the DP proposes 10 municipalities, up from 5 according to the 2014 territorial division.
In the Shkodra region, for example, 8 municipalities are proposed, up from the current 5, while in the Lezha region the number goes from 3 to 8 municipalities.

Among the municipalities proposed in the draft are Velipojë, Drivast, Koplik, Shishtavec, Bicaj, Maqellarë, Shupenza, Kastriot, Lure, Petrelë, Kashar, Dajt, Arbanë, Ndroq, Amantia, Orikum, Ksamil and Novoselë, in addition to the existing municipalities that receive new territorial compositions in the draft.

The two new proposals for territorial division thus present two different models: the SP proposes 46 municipalities, while the DP proposes 100 municipalities organized into 6 regions.
