Zogist salute
Albanian nationalist salute
The Zogist salute (Albanian: Përshëndetja zogiste) is an Albanian nationalist military salute of Albania since used by civilians in other countries.[1][2] The salute is a gesture whereby the right hand is placed over the heart, with the palm facing downwards.
The salute is still popular with modern supporters of Zogu and Albanian monarchists in general, and the Albanian nationalists of the Balli Kombëtar. Under the post-war communist government of Enver Hoxha, the Zogist salute was used by dissidents as an anti-regime statement.[3]
