Albanians today in mourning

Albania and Kosovo today are in national mourning due to lives lost in earthquakes that hit Albania by night between November 25th and 26th.

In all institutions the flags have been lowered to half-species, while party activities in Kosovo have also been cancelled in honour of Flag Day.

The quake hit mainly the city of Durres and the area of Thumana, where several palaces collapsed.

The victims' balance is unfortunately expected to rise as there are still persons under the rubble.
