111 years of state: This is the story of the day when Albania's Independence was declared

On November 28, 1912, Vlora's National Assembly declared Albania's independence. The act of the Declaration of Independence constitutes one of the most important events in the history of the Albanian people. It was the product of centuries-old efforts and wars of Albanians, to protect the land of the homeland and to form the independent Albanian state.

With Vlora's decision, the Albanian nation gained its undeniable right to be free and independent, along with nations and other peoples of Europe.

28 November 1912 marks a historic turn for the Albanian people, for on the one hand the nearly five-year rule of the Ottoman Empire ended, and new political conditions were created to emerge from the great setback and its faster economic, social and cultural development.

The declaration of Independence was a major victory for Albanians, even against the anti-Albanian policy of neighbouring Balkan monarchs, against their intentions and plans for Albania's full fragmentation. The declaration of Independence and the establishment of the national flag in Vlora was a joint victory for all the Albanian people and for all the forces involved in the national liberation, rifles and pen.

In honour of the November 28th festival, the Pristina municipality has planned to organise several important events.

The following is the agenda of events in the capital:

Ten o'clock solemn hearing in the Municipal Convention

Respecting hymns

Kosovo's Himmni, Albania

28 November is not part of the calendar of Kosovo's official holidays, even though this day is celebrated every time and the same day is announced for all state institutions. Historians, even Kosovo Assembly deputies, are demanding that this holiday be part of the official holiday calendar.

According to them, national values are being violated in this form.

Flag Day, November 28, is marked almost wherever Albanian is spoken.

This date, on which the Albanian state's independence on four Albanian villas was declared in 1912, makes up other stories for Albanians.

On November 28th is the birthday of legendary Kosovo Liberation Army Commander Adem Jashari and the date when the KLA first appeared publicly, in 1997 at the funeral of teacher Halit Geci at Drenica Lausa.

All of this causes the emotions of Albanians in Kosovo in these November days to be great, and almost everything gets the color of the holiday.

With Kosovo's declaration of independence, in February 2008, it was decided to be the official holiday of February 17th and 28th. November alone remained at the memorial parties. This came out of the Ahtisaari package, through which independence was declared.

Until 28 November is not part of the official holiday calendar in Kosovo, there are other dates marked by holiday and holiday, but considered unnecessary.

Currently, the state of Kosovo has 11 official holidays: New Year, Orthodox Christmas, Independence Day of Kosovo, Catholic Easter, Orthodox Easter, Constitutional Day, International Labour Day, Europe Day, the Great Bayram, the Little Bayram, and Catholic Christmas.

Festivals such as Constitutional Day, Europe Day, or May Day are considered unnecessary in Kosovo, to be official holidays and on the same day off.
