Teme Sejko (August 25, 1922 – May 31, 1961) was an
Albanian navy and the naval base of Durrës.[1] In 1961 he was executed for allegedly being the leader of a pro-Soviet group that had been planning a coup d'état against Enver Hoxha by selling the Albanian Navy to the United States Sixth Fleet
.
Background
Teme Sejko, a member of the Sejko family of
Activity in the Albanian army
In 1943 he was sent by the
Albanian navy. During the period of poor relations with Yugoslavia, Colonel Sejko was sending undercover groups into Yugoslavia.[2]
In July 1960 he was arrested by the
Soviet-Albanian split. Sources in Yugoslavia at the time argued that Sejko had been accused because of his politics. It was said that the executions had arisen because Hoxha disagreed with the conclusions of a Party conference in Tirana in 1956.[2]
