It has been nearly a year since Albania's authorities have returned positive answers to Kosovo's respondents to withdraw the country's personal items, writer Yusuf Gervala. But such a thing has not yet been concrete.
Eight of them were sent to Albania more than thirty years ago to return to the country for permanent exposure to the Gervala Brothers' Tower of Moses. The National History Museum in Tirana has now returned a positive response to the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports for their return to the site of Gervala, but this institution has not yet taken a concrete step towards that.
Pants, jackets, shirts, cotton fans, shoes, red pastels, notebooks of the newspaper “Renaissance” and a lighter, which met Yusuf Gervall, who was killed on January 17, 1982, in Germany, along with his brother, Bardoshin, and their co-activator, Kadri Zekina é, currently located in the foundation of the highest museum institution in Albania. They expect to join exhibits and other personal items of the Gervala brothers made together in the tower, where guitars, clocks, typewriters, manuscripts, books, clothes, and so on.
Their return to the tower, to the village of Dubovik in Decani, inaugurated on October 1, last year, on the birthday of Yusuf Gervala, had initiated his wife, Susan Grovall, two years earlier. The staff of the National History Museum had suggested that the request be made through the Kosovo Ministry of Culture. The latter has accepted confirmation since December last year that the request has been approved.
At the request of the Ministry of Culture and the proposal of Mrs. Susan Grovall we are addressing the Ministry of Culture in Tirana for the return of Joseph Gervala's artefacts. In co-ordination of the two ministries and in co-operation with the National Museum in Tirana, our request has been approved and already sent to us the decision on eight permanent exposure facilities in Kosovo”, Vjollca Aliu, director of the Cultural Heritage Department, said at the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports.
We plan to expose objects to the Yusuf Gervala Tower in Dubovik”, she added. The restoration of this tower was financed by the Ministry of Culture in two phases, with a total of 137 thousand euros. In addition to the tower, the restoration of the other object, the office of Mother Ayse, for which the Decani Community had invested.
According to Ali, the fact that the Gervala glands have not yet returned to Kosovo, despite confirmation from the Albanian side, relates to technical issues.
