What is the oldest written source in this country that mentions this right?

Albania

In the 1928 Fundamental Statute of the Kingdom of Albania, Article 196 guaranteed the privacy of the home, and Article 201 addressed privacy of correspondence: "The secrecy of correspondence, telegraph and telephone messages is inviolable, except in case of war mobilisation, revolution and the investigation of serious crimes." The 1976 Constitution offered guarantees using similar language, in Articles 57 and 58.

Today, privacy is guaranteed in Articles 35 (data), 36 (correspondence), and 37 (home) of the 1998 constitution (Constitute Project, “Albania 1998 rev. 2016” ).
