TIRANA, Nov 29 /ATA/ Albanians are celebrating today, November 29, the 81st anniversary of the country’s liberation from Nazi-fascist occupiers.
Prime Minister Edi Rama has extended his greetings to all citizens on the national Liberation Day.
In commemoration of this day, state officials are expected to pay tribute at the National Cemetery in honor of the martyrs of the National Anti-Fascist Liberation War.
Additionally, several other activities will take place, including a festive concert tonight at Skanderbeg Square, also known as the White Night.
Since April 7, 1939, Albania was under the yoke of fascist occupation. After Italy’s capitulation in the autumn of 1943, the country was occupied by German forces.
In late November 1944, following the liberation of Tirana, a significant number of the northern cities was also freed. The liberation of Shkodër marked the day Albania was finally liberated from German occupation.
