@strgrl9: What makes this even more painful is that Vlorë is not just another city. It is the cradle of Albanian statehood, the place where, on 28 November 1912, Ismail Qemali raised the flag and declared Albania’s independence from the Ottoman Empire. For a brief but defining period, Vlorë served as the first capital of the newly independent Albanian state. To see such a historic city treated as a commodity to be sold off is a disgrace. Vlorë is a symbol of sacrifice, sovereignty, and national identity. Its value cannot be measured merely in financial terms, because it carries the memory of the moment Albania stood before the world as a free nation. Decisions affecting such a place should honor its historic significance and protect it for future generations, not reduce it to a transaction. #albania #edirama #vlora #
