Maliq Bushati (8 February 1890 – 20 February 1946) was an Albanian politician who served as the 18th prime minister of Albania from February 1943 to May 1943 as an Axis collaborator. Following the Italian invasion of Albania in 1939, Bushati served as Interior Minister from 1939 to 1941 under the government of Shefqt Vërlaci. Along with two other Axis collaborators Lef Nosi and father Anton Harapi, he was sentenced to death by communist Albania.

Biography

Maliq was born in Shkodër on 8 February 1890 to Hyssen Beg in the Alibegaj branch of the Bushati family. His father followed military education at the local school and in Istanbul afterwards. He served with the rank of binbashi in Vilayet of Salonica during the first years of the 20th century, only to die suddenly at a young age in 1903.
