Albania today celebrates the 112th anniversary of the declaration of independence. On November 28, 1912, Ismail Qemali raised the flag in Vlora, declaring Albania a sovereign and independent state.
November 28 is known as Flag Day for all Albanians wherever they are.
With the act of the Declaration of Independence of Albania, the President of the Provisional Government, Ismail Qemali announced the six Great Powers: England, Italy, Austria-Hungary, France, Germany and Russia.
The Balkan states were also notified: Romania, Montenegro, Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey, asking them to recognize their independence, as a natural consequence of the will of the Albanian people. On November 28, Ismail Qemali was declared the speaker of the Assembly and the first speaker of the government of the Albanian state. Independence was declared for all Albanian lands and ministers were elected from all Albanian provinces.
The Act of Declaration of Independence constitutes one of the most important events in the history of the Albanian people. It was the fruit of the centuries-old efforts and wars of the Albanians, to protect the territorial integrity of the homeland and to form the independent Albanian state. With the decision of the Assembly of Vlora, the Albanian nation won its undeniable right to be free and independent, alongside the other nations and peoples of Europe.
November 28, 1912 marks a historical turning point for the Albanian people, because on the one hand the nearly five-century rule of the Ottoman Empire came to an end, on the other hand new political conditions were created to get out of the great backwardness and for its faster development economic, social and cultural.
The Declaration of Independence was a great victory of the Albanians against the anti-Albanian policy of the neighboring Balkan monarchies, against the intentions of their plans for the complete dismemberment of Albania.
