The transition to the post-communist society did not reflect the same features and results from the point of view of property rights. Problems of ownership have been different in these countries, which relates to the way of organization of the socialist regime, and the direction of each state, in the view of the right of ownership. The form of this organization has influenced in many problems of transformation of public ownership in the process of restitution and compensation of its in private property. According to this organization some societies have passed the transition faster and smooth, while others have passed, or continue to wander through the transition more difficult and problematic. Practical Uses in these countries in respect the right of ownership, have been different, for every post-communist country. They reflect different features from one country to another and that the concept and current practices for property rights remain open for improvement in countries such as Albania to achieve the standard for European right! The question that remains open for discussion is that of identifying the factors that have contributed to the field and the differences between them, for countries in transition and property rights among post-communist societies.
