Islam Araştımıaları Met'k.ezi Kü'rtlphanesi Tas. No: İstanbul2013 Memories of Seraglios Monuments of Civil Ottoman Architecture in the Albanian Provinces Holta Vrioni* Foreword At the south-eastern entrance to the city of Vlora, at the junction of many routes that originated at the harbour and led to the centre of the city in the middle of a grand park of 40, 000 square metres, there was until 1925 an enormous building preceded by a smaller one in front, both surrounded by an eight-metre high wall with two doors. This was the konak of the Vloras, including the harem and the selamlık. People called this complex simply 'the beys' seraglio'. 1 This passage from Ekrem Bey Vlora's memoirs, written in German2 during the 1960s and translated into Albanian at the beginning of our millennium, attracted much curiosity. Indeed, the bey and his seraglio had since long vanished from the physical terrain, reduced to generic metaphors ofoppression · and obscurantism. Dietatarship had frozen Albanians in a mental histarical frame starting grosso modo with the events of World War II and ending with the projectian of a utopian end-of-the-history Communist bliss. At last, its collapse provided freedom to rediseover histories, characters and landscapes independent of planned histarical productions custornised in the scholarly amputating laboratories of autarchy.

Theoretically, it should have covered “all” areas, but the current Kosovo statistical system is non all- inclusive. Kosovo Statistical Office (SOK) is planning to have this publication annually published in the future. The aim of this publication is that the basic statistical data on social and economic situation in Kosovo be available to a large number of readers. Users who need more detailed statistical data or information on available publications, as well as want to get familiar with the SOK activities, can find more information on the SOK website: www.ks-gov.net/esk. The said project is a continuous contribution and work of Distribution Statistics staff headed by the Senior Officer on horizontal publications, Drita Sylejmani and the Distribution Manager, Servete Muriqi. The statistical data presented in this publication originate from SOK surveys, as well as other data produced by the departments of production statistics.

Nos anos precedentes, porém, os vértices da Igreja ortodoxa se tornaram um verdadeiro instrumento político e diplomático a serviço do Partido Comunista albanês. Palavras-chave: Albânia, Igreja ortodoxa albanesa, Guerra Fria, relação Igreja-Estado, Partido do Trabalho da Albânia.
