The President of the Republic of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani, together with President Bajram Begaj, the Speaker of the Parliament Niko Peleshi, and Prime Minister Edi Rama, participated in the ceremony marking the 113th anniversary of Albania’s Independence, which was held in Vlora.
President Osmani wrote:
113 years ago, in Vlora, the flag that unites the hearts of all Albanians everywhere was raised.
Today, when we raise this red and black flag again, we honour not only the Independence Day of Albania, but also the sacrifice of the entire nation, from Vlora to Pristina, from Shkodra to Skopje, Mitrovica, Presheva and Ulcinj, in exile and wherever the Albanian heart beats.
This flag is our common history, the symbol that united us in our most difficult days and today leads us towards a European future.
Happy 113th Anniversary of Independence!
Long live the red and black flag!
Long live the Albanian nation!
