The District of Has (Albanian: Rrethi i Hasit) is one of the thirty-six districts of Albania and one of the smallest. It has a population of 15.000 (2010 estimate), and an area of 374 km2. It is in the north-east of the country, part of Kukës County, and its capital is Krumë.
The district consists of the following municipalities:
* Fajzë
* Gjinaj
* Golaj
* Krumë.
Has District, besides the town of Krumë, comprises a number of villages and they are well known for their help in 1999 in the Kosovo War against the Serbian Army, for the unprecedented hospitality given to the thousands of refugees from Kosovo (there were about 78,000 refugees staying in the homes of Has inhabitants, or more than threefold the population of the Has District at that time). Hasi is located in the border of North-East-Albania and South-West-Kosovo.
Sadly, year-by-year the population of Has has been falling dramatically. European studies show that the decline in the Has population is falling due to the lack of economy; so there is a huge number of people from this area migrating to countries like the United Kingdom and the United States but mostly to Tirana, the capital of Albania.
