The first Press Office in Albania opened in 1920 at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, while in 1927 it moved to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Documents from this time period uncovered at the Central State Archive, show that the functions related to ATSH (as a news agency) were retained by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
