Bathore is an area just outside Tirana, the capital of Albania. It is part of the municipality Kamëz. The area, comprising approximately was a collective farm run by the state under communism.
Bathore was squatted in the early 1990s by migrants from the mountainous north. They had no electricity or water, and were funded by money sent from relatives abroad. They built permanent housing in the hope that this would make an eviction harder for the authorities. The authorities attempted to evict the settlement in 1995, but the squatters fought back and took the deputy prime minister Tritan Shehu hostage.
