"Qui passo gli anni, abbandonato, oscuro, senz'amor, senza vita; ed aspro a forza tra lo stuol de' malevoli divengo: qui di pietà mi spoglio e di virtudi, e sprezzator degli uomini divengo..." (G. Leopardi)

Albania - Independence Day


Today 28 of November, is the Albanian Flag Day. Today in 1912, Albanian gained its independence from the Ottoman Turkish Empire.
The Albanian league created in 1878, a league of the balkan populations of albanian culture and language, fought for the independence of Albania from 1908 to 1912, when Turks agreed to the Albanians' demand of independence.

Even if 28 of November doesn't mark any anniversary for Kosovo, the Albanian flag day is wormly celebrated by the albanian ethnic people of Pristina.
