Flag Day (Albania)
Flag Day (Albanian: Dita e Flamurit or Festa e Flamurit), or Independence Day, is celebrated every 28 November as a holiday in Albania,[1] Kosovo, North Macedonia and the Albanian diaspora. It refers to the Albanian Declaration of Independence on 28 November 1912 and the raising of the Albanian flag in Vlora by Ismail Qemali,[2] coinciding with the day in which Skanderbeg raised the same flag in Krujë, on 28 November 1443.[3]
