The National Informative Service (Albanian: Shërbimi Informativ Kombëtar), commonly known as SHIK, was an intelligence service agency created in 1991 by the Albanian People's Assembly. It was the successor to Sigurimi, the notorious secret service agency which repressed anti-communist dissent during the communist government of 1944–1991. The agency was succeeded by SHISH in 1997.[1][2]
