Prime Minister Edi Rama with Albin Kurti in Vlora for the flag raising ceremony

Albanians celebrate Flag Day today. They remember and honor November 28, 1912, the day when Ismail Qemali raised the flag and Albania declared independence from the Ottoman Empire.

The Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, is in Vlora for the official flag-raising ceremony, together with Prime Minister Edi Rama, President Bajram Begaj and Speaker of the Parliament Elisa Spiropali.

While in Tirana, for the second year, the parade of Albanians will be organized, an activity that promotes traditional clothes from all Albanian regions and where more than 10,000 people are expected to be present. Now the national flags have decorated the "National Martyrs" Boulevard. The red ones are wearing the main institutions in the country as well as the entire country. 

The parade will start at 11:00 a.m. on "Dëşmorët e Kombit" Boulevard and will end around 2:00 p.m. on "Skënderbej" square. While there will be cultural and commemorative activities in other cities of the country.

Today, congratulatory messages from heads of state and political leaders are being sent. Prime Minister Edi Rama chose to convey the congratulations to the Albanians through a video of the song "Për ty atdhe", sung by the well-known tenor from Kosovo, Ramë Lahaj, accompanied by the choreography of some children dancers.
