Prime Minister Edi Rama took to the social media on Tuesday to unveil a calendar of events scheduled by the Ministry of Defense to mark Albania’s independence and liberation anniversaries on November 28 and 29 respectively.

“80th anniversary of liberation, one of the most important events in history that is marked and celebrated all over the country,” PM Rama said.

Various events are scheduled to take place in Dibër, Berat, Ulqin, Tuz, Vlorë, Tirana, Podgorice, Shkodër, Korçë, Skopje, Prishtinë, etc.

Albania celebrates the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the country from the Nazi-fascist invaders on November 29. From April 7, 1939, Albania was under the fascist occupation. After Italy’s capitulation in the fall of 1943, the country was occupied by Germany.

By the end of November 1944, after the liberation of Tirana, a significant part of the country’s north was also liberated. The liberation of Shkoder also marked the liberation of Albania from the German occupation.
