HOW YOU CAN HELP RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN ALBANIA •N There are many things one person can do for those whose rights of worship are denied by force and legislation. Below we are listing some: 1. BECOME INFORMED YOURSELF. 2. SHARE WITH OTHERS YOUR KNOWLEDGE. 3. PRAY EVERY DAY, ALONE OR IN A GROUP, FOR THE RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN ALBANIA. 4. WRITE LETTERS TO EDITORS OF NEWSPAPERS AND PERIODICALS. 5. CALL IN ON RADIO TALK SHOWS. 6. URGE CHURCH AND POLITICAL LEADERS TO TAKE ACTION ON BEHALF OF THE OPPRESSED ALBANIANS. 7. FORM A GROUP TO PRAY AND TO WORK TOGETHER TO HELP SPREAD KNOWLEDGE OF THE RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION NOW OCCURING IN ALBANIA. 8. WRITE COURTEOUS LETTERS TO ALBANIAN LEADERS (ENVER HOXHA, GENERAL SECRETARY PLA, TIRANA, ALBANIA; AND ADIL CARCANI CHAIRMAN OF THE COUNCIL OF MINISTERS OF THE PSRA, TIRANA, ALBANIA), PROTESTING ANTIRELIGIOUS LAWS OF THE ALBANIAN GOVERNMENT EDITORIAL This year our Center celebrates its tenth anniversary. During this short but eventful period when the faithful in Albania have been striving to persevere, we have brought to our friends and to the public at large news about their plight. Our group of volunteers, dedicated to religious freedom everywhere, but particularly in Albania, have carried on our work with great zeal and sacrifice. And our readers, by their letters and their financial support, have enabled us to continue what we truly consider an apostolate for the persecuted Church in Albania. On this special occasion, then, we deem it appropriate to express our sincere thanks to all of you who have supported us by prayers and by words of encouragement. We look forward to continuing, with your help, this important task. May Our Lord and the Hpresent day Martyrs of Albania be the guiding light in our lives. j§ GUEST EDITORIAL RAYMOND FROST UNITE WITH THE SUFFERING CHURCH "Let us remain in communion with the martyrs. They dig the deepest bed of the divine river in history. They construct the strongest foundations of the city which rises to eternity." —Pope John Paul II, Otranto, Italy, October 5, 1980 When the history of the twentieth century is finally known, countless Christian martyrs will appear in bold relief against the background of terrible oppression and equally terrible apathy. But if their witness echoes in our hearts and finds its expression in the works of our hands, we will discover inexpressible joy even in the terrors of these times. This is the paradox of martyrdom—to find joy and fulfillment through the very suffering which tears us away from the things we cherish—our homes, our loved ones, our very lives. Precisely because we are willing to give up these things do we possess an everlasting reward. What one member of the Body of Christ suffers benefits those who are fellow members, especially those who have committed themselves to the same tasks. We must look at our own lives and question ourselves—am I committed to sharing in the suffer­ ings of Christ's weakest members, in whatever circumstances they are to be found? Christ categorically proclaims in Matthew, Chapter 25, the relief of our neighbor's burden as the final criterion of our condemnation or reward. Beginning with Calvary and continuing through twenty centuries of Christian witness, we are called to participate in the work of uniting to the Body of Christ those parts which are separated from Him. Only in this way can we see the unacceptable atrocities of Auschwitz, of Central America, of Albania and all the communist world having the profound purpose of uniting souls to Christ. Our sacrificial suffering, in and with our burdened neighbors, in a spirit of penance and reparation for sin, is our pledge of commitment to Christ which seals our belief in Him. Most of the innocent victims of this century are known only by the little and the lost, among whom shine the recently martyred Albanians Bishop Ernest Coba and Fr. Ndoc Luli, S.J. Now God has granted them a representative from their own time and experience, Maximillian Kolbe, to show forth what God has done through His priests. Their sharing in the sacrifice of Christ on the altar has borne fruits of redemption in the lives of their countrymen, their oppressors and even in the apathetic, who are destined to see in them a shining example of truth and goodness. May the future St. Maximillian Kolbe lead us into battle for the souls of men, under the banner of Mary Our Mother. 3 LETTERS Since I am Albanian (Arberesh) on both my mother and father's side and over 80 years of age I am making a greater effort to learn more about my people. Your book has been very helpful in that direction. God bless you.... Rosie R. Bellas San Leandro, California Many thanks for the Bulletin. It is an excellent periodical packed with interest­ ing information. As a member of Amnesty International, I absolutely condemn the widespread killings which have occurred in Albania and the detention of thousands of political and religious prisoners.

"Tourism governance in post-war transition: the case of Kosova" Shqiperim Reka A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Sheffield Hallam University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy February 2017 Abstract The aim of this research study was to examine tourism governance in post-war transition with specific reference to the influence of political, economic and social factors, institutional arrangements, collaboration and power relations. Within this context, a crucial objective was to assess the role of mindset. Reviewing the literature in relation to the key concepts, it was discovered that research tends to focus on political and economic transition, whereas the social dimension, despite its importance, is largely neglected. Similarly, tourism governance has been overlooked in studies of tourism in post-war transition. Furthermore, the literature on tourism governance rarely takes the issue of mindset into account. To address these gaps in knowledge, a qualitative research approach was applied to study tourism governance in post-war transitional Kosova.

  • The Monument As Ruin: Natality, Spectrality, and the History of the Image in the Tirana Independence Monument
    Liminal Balkans No. 2 - Year 6 06/2016 - LC.6 [sic] - a journal of literature, culture and literary translation Raino Isto, University of Maryland, USA ([email protected]) The Monument as Ruin: Natality, Spectrality, and the History of the Image in the Tirana Independence Monument Abstract This article examines the Tirana Independence Monument, first inaugurated in November of 2012 on the hundredth anniversary of Albanian independence from the Ottoman Empire. The monument, designed by Visar Obrija and Kai Roman Kiklas, swiftly fell into disrepair until it was recently renovated in November of 2015. The article analyzes the monument’s function in terms of its doubled existence as a sign of perpetual natality (the possibility of the rebirth of national consciousness) and as a ruin with a spectral pseudo-presence (as an object that continually reminds us of the disjunctures that divorce the present from its historicity). It considers the way the monument’s inauguration relates to the politics of monumentality in contemporary Albania, and argues that the monument’s gradual ruination between 2012 and 2015 can be read as a particular manifestation of the history of the image in late capitalist society.[1] Keywords : spectrality, natality, monumentality, Albania, Tirana, independence, national identity, grid, public sculpture 1. Introduction “A good city is a city that remembers.”—Erion Veliaj (qtd. in “Monumenti i Pavarësisë rikonstruktohet”)[2] “The fortification, once an object, tended to become a ‘subject.’”—Paul Virilio (41) ISSN 1847-7755; doi: 10.15291/sic/2.6.lc.6 1 Liminal Balkans No. 2 - Year 6 06/2016 - LC.6 [sic] - a journal of literature, culture and literary translation The image of the damaged, abandoned or ruined monument has served for some time as both an icon and an index of the postsocialist condition.

It places Roman decision-making and action within its proper context by emphasizing the role that Greek polities and Illyrian tribes played in both the outbreak and conclusion of the war. It argues that the primary motivation behind the Roman decision to declare war against the Ardiaei in 229 was to secure the very profitable trade routes linking Brundisium to the eastern shore of the Adriatic. It was in fact the failure of the major Greek powers to limit Ardiaean piracy that led directly to Roman intervention. In the earliest phase of trans-Adriatic engagement Rome was essentially uninterested in expansion or establishing a formal hegemony in the Greek East and maintained only very loose ties to the polities of the eastern Adriatic coast.

  • Of Time, Honor, and Memory: Oral Law in Albania
    Oral Tradition, 23/1 (2008): 3-14 Of Time, Honor, and Memory: Oral Law in Albania Fatos Tarifa This essay provides a historical account of the role of oral tradition in passing on from generation to generation an ancient code of customary law that has shaped and dominated the lives of northern Albanians until well into the mid-twentieth century. This traditional body of customary law is known as the Kode of Lekë Dukagjini. It represents a series of norms, mores, and injunctions that were passed down by word of mouth for generations and reputedly originally formulated by Lekë Dukagjini, an Albanian prince and companion-in-arms to Albania’s national hero, George Kastriot Skanderbeg (1405-68). Lekë Dukagjini ruled the territories of Pulati, Puka, Mirdita, Lura, and Luma in northern Albania—known today as the region of Dukagjini—until the Ottoman armies seized Albania’s northernmost city of Shkodër in 1479. Throughout the past five to six centuries this corpus of customary law has been referred to as Kanuni i Lekë Dukagjinit, Kanuni i Malsisë (the Code of the Highlands), or Kanuni i maleve (the Code of the Mountains). The “Code” is an inexact term, since Kanun, deriving from the Greek kanon, simultaneously signifies “norm,” “rule,” and “measure.” The Kanun, but most particularly the norm of vengeance, or blood taking, as its standard punitive apparatus, continue to this day to be a subject of historical, sociological, anthropological, and juridical interest involving various theoretical frames of reference from the dominant trends of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to today. The Kanun of Lekë Dukagjini was not the only customary law in Albania.

Mirëpo, për shkak të përmbysjeve të mëdha që sollën vitet nëntëdhjetë, puna ime në këtë projekt pati ndërprerje dhe u mbajt në këmbë me një ritëm tepër të ngadaltë. Këtij projekti studimor iu riktheva me përqendrimin e duhur vetëm pas vitit 2001, kur u miratua si tezë e doktoranturës në Fakultetin e Filologjisë të Universitetit të Prishtinës. Idetë e hershme dhe materialet e mbledhura nëpër vite, qenë një ndihmesë e jashtëzakonshme, për ta intensifikuar punën në këtë projekt dhe për të sublimuar rezultatet e punës studimore për një periudhë dyvjeçare.
