Biography

Sulejman Starova was born in the village of Starovë, present-day Pogradec municipality. He received his early education in his hometown and in Bitola, later transferring to Istanbul where he would complete his higher studies in finance. Here he worked as a banker until the end of 1912. With the mediation of the French legation, he managed to return home to Albania.

From 1913 to 1920 he worked as a finance officer in the Albanian administration. In 1920 he was employed as an advisor at the Ministry of Finances and the following year was given the portfolio of Minister of Finances in the transitional government of Idhomen Kosturi.

In December 1923 he ran as a deputy representing the Prefecture of Korçë in the Albanian Parliament and was re-elected again in 1925 and 1928.[2] During this time, he was reappointed Minister of Finances in the Republican governments unofficially led by justice minister Milto Tutulani from 28 September 1925 to 10 February 1927 and substitutive justice minister Ilias Vrioni from 24 October 1927 to 10 May 1928.[3]

Sulejman Starova passed away on July 1, 1934, from tuberculosis.
