The patriots include Ismail Qemali, who would become Kiço Blushi Albania's first Prime Minister, Luigj Gurakuqi, the independent country's first Minister of Education, and the Kosovar hero Isa Boletini. After many setbacks and adventures, they Photography Lionel Konomi succeed in raising the Albanian flag (its eagle embroidered by Marigo Posio), in the city of Music Kujtim Laro Vlora, on the 28th of November 1912.

The English subtitles were done by a team of four translators in Tirana and coordinated in the U.S. by the Albanian Ambassador and his staff at the embassy in Washington, DC.

  • Manuscript Preparation for International Conference On
    Abstract ICRAE2014 Conference Proceedings ISSN: 2308-0825 HISTORIC HOUSE MUSEUMS AND PRIVATE MUSEUMS IN MITROVICA Pajazit Hajzeri Historical association of Kosova “Ali Kadri” – Mitrovice Abstract Movable cultural heritage occupies a very important place in the history of a country or a nation regarding its past. A new practice in collecting and preserving movable heritage exhibits, is spread also in Mitrovica and its suburbs, as a result of the negligence of the state bodies for these exhibits to be stored in state museums. Today in Mitrovica and its suburbs there are some private museums that preserve around 1000 movable exhibits of different time periods, from antiquity up to the more recent years, KLA’s war in 1998-99. This paper discusses three historic house museums and three private museums that are expanding day by day and are visited by many visitors. It is of special interest that these museums receive better conditions from municipal and state bodies to organize, inventory, preserve, present and publish these independent results of people dealing with this subject. The tradition of collecting and storing museum exhibits in Mitrovica began around 1979 by Dr. Bajram Preteni, internist. That same passion for collecting and storing various exhibits shared also Mr. Sheshivar Begu from Vllahi, a village located about 9 km north of Trepça. The private museum in the towers of Kroi i Vitakut has a different character from other museums. This museum preserves the paintings of its own owner, the well-known painter, Kadri Kadriu, killed by Serbian paramilitary forces on March 24, 1999. The works of art preserved in this museum are not all the works that the author made during his life, but are those that could be saved from war destruction.

It reflects events he lived through, his personal impressions, and gives conclusions, which provide lessons for all periods, drawn from the hostile activity carried out openly or behind the scenes, against our National Liberation Movement, our people's revolution and socialist Albania by the Anglo-American bourgeoisie. It brings out clearly the clash between the diabolical plans, attempts, manoeuvres and concrete activities of Anglo-American imperialism to put Albania under its sway, on the one hand, and the vigilance, the blow for blow struggle of the Communist Party of Albania and its General Secretary, the leader of the Army and the National Liberation Front and the whole patriotic Alba• nian people, Comrade Enver Hoxha, on the other hand, to discover, unmask, defeat and destroy the imperialist strategy and tactics in regard to Albania. These memoirs now being published, were written in 1975. The book is available in Albanian and several foreign languages. 3 I A LITTLE HISTORY Albania — a token for barter for the «Brit- ish Lion».
