The decision of the previous Evangjeli Government to make a deal with Italy was unpopular with the cabinet and the public.[1] This made King Zog force the dissolution of the government. 9 days later, Zog again appointed Pandeli Evangjeli as Prime Minister.[2]

The biggest task of the Third government was to lower Albania's dependency on Italy.[4] Despite this, due to the financial burden of the Great Depression, the government was forced to sign several treaties with Italy that would see become Albania's largest trade partner,[5] roughly accounting for 60% of Albanian imports. [6]
The government's deal with Italy also made it so Italian construction companies were privileged in Albania.[7] This, although helped Albania's infrastructure, made the government more and more unpopular with the public.[8]
The government also enforced its censorship rules.[9] during the government term, 200 lawyers, intellectuals, doctors,and others were jailed, and in the end 49 of them were given life in prison. [10]
Following the results of the 1932 election, Evangjeli resigned from his post. Despite this, on January of the next year, Zogu once again tasked Evangjeli with forming a government.[11]
