Giant Albanian flag starts journey

Spahiu declared that Albania belongs to all Albanians, wherever they are, divided in many states and party colors, which are not what Ismail Qemali had dreamt of.

“We were promised 20 years ago of having Albania like all Europe. We waited 10 years, changed governments, and we’re still the last country in Europe that has not found its door. For 20 years, the Albanian Constitution sanctioned the unification and aspiration of all Albanians. Where is our dream, state obligation, for fulfilling this constitutional obligation?”, Spahiu declared.

Kreshnik Spahiu invited the Albanians to ignore partial flags and respect the national flag, by placing a flag in each window.

“In these 20 years, we chose other flags that spurred hate and turned us worse than 99 years ago”, Spahiu declared, quoting some lines of a Vasko Pasha nationalistic poetry.

The Red and Black Alliance activities for the Independence Day would culminate this Monday in Prishtina.

Other celebrations were held today in the city of Durres, in front of the Municipality, where it was unfolded 99 years earlier.
