They have their own structure very clannish. Balkan crime groups, not only Albanians, have eschewed the top-down, territorial structure of cartels from Mexico and Colombia, working instead in small cells
The typical structure of the Albanian mafia is hierarchical. A family clan is referred to as a "fis" or a "fare." Families contain an executive committee known as a "Bajrak" and select a high-ranking member for each unit.
according to FBI and italian police there is no defined hierarchy, a group is made up of people who come from the same city or neighborhood, often relatives, with a more or less recognized leader, but it does not have a defined structure. They operate in small, fluid, less hierarchical groups, that's the reason FBI call them "criminal enterprises"
