๐ฆ๐ฑ From the mountains of southern Albania to the biggest cinema screens in the world. Oscar-winning composer Ludwig Gรถransson has revealed that, while creating the soundtrack for Christopher Nolanโs The Odyssey, he travelled to southern Albania to record our Albanian ancient UNESCO-recognised iso-polyphony and the traditional flutes played by Albanian shepherds. He even shared that the recording sessions had to finish early because the shepherds were up at 4:00 a.m. to take their flocks into the mountains. This is a remarkable recognition of one of Europeโs oldest living musical traditions. The unique sound of Albanian iso-polyphony will now be heard by millions of people around the world through one of the biggest films ever made. Our history, our culture, and our music continue to speak to the world. A proud day for Albania and for all Albanians. ๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ถ #Albania #IsoPolyphony #UNESCO #TheOdyssey #ChristopherNolan #LudwigGoransson #ProudToBeAlbanian

A historic moment for Balkan unity. For the first time ever, a Croatian President openly acknowledged the shared Illyrian roots between Croats and Albanians Croatian President Zoran Milanoviฤ stated: โThe Croats who live in Dalmatia and the surrounding areas have the same origin as the Albanians known as Arbanasi.โ He continued: โThese Croats speak a Slavic language today. We are the same, but we have two different languages. Albanians speak Albanian, which was also the language of the Illyrians.โ This is bigger than politics. This is about history, identity, truth, and the unity of Balkan peoples. For centuries, Albanians have preserved one of the oldest languages and identities in Europe despite invasions, assimilation, and division. Today, even leaders from neighbouring nations are recognising the deep historical connections of the Balkans and the Illyrian heritage that shaped this region. The future of the Balkans should not be built on hatred and division, but on truth, respect, and recognition of our shared roots. History cannot be erased. ๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ญ๐ท๐ฝ๐ฐ๐ฆ ๐ซถ๐ป

Albanians are a unique people, among the oldest civilizations in Europe. They are known for their hospitality, which is unmatched anywhere else in the world, their strong work ethic, their family values, and their rich cultural heritage. In one word, they are a living civilization that continues to thrive in Europe today. What is happening in Albania is a peaceful protest. It is not because people oppose foreign investment or want to prevent Albania from developing and prospering. Rather, many people fear that powerful elites have repeatedly failed Albania and betrayed the interests of the Albanian people over the last two centuries. Many believe these concerns date back to the changes and conflicts that began in the Balkans during the 19th century and continue to influence the region today. Regardless of political views, every Albanian has the right to express their opinion peacefully, while supporting the development, prosperity, and future of Albania. ๐ฆ๐ฑ Proud to be Albanian.

Greek kickboxer Giannis Tsoukalas was brutally attacked inside the ring in Serbia after winning his fight by knockout. This shocking incident is a reminder that sport must never descend into mob violence. A ring is a place for competition under rules and honour โ not chaos, revenge, or disgraceful behaviour. What happened was not sport. It was a failure of organisation, security, and responsibility. If the Balkans are ever to move forward, violence must be condemned clearly and without excuses, and those responsible must be held accountable โ regardless of nationality. Respect, fairness, and safety are the foundations of real unity and lasting peace in our region. Greeks need to wake upโฆ

Dear Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, I would like to welcome you to Albania, a country of breathtaking beauty, rich history, and extraordinary natural landscapes. It is truly one of the hidden treasures of Europe. As you have seen for yourselves, Albaniaโs beauty is unique. However, this land is much more than stunning mountains, coastlines, and valleys. It is a land for which generations of Albanians have sacrificed, endured hardship, and defended throughout centuries of wars and challenges. For this reason, I kindly ask that all development projects in Albania be carried out with the highest level of transparency, respect, and consideration for the Albanian people and our heritage. I would also appreciate clarification regarding employment opportunities associated with your investments. It would mean a great deal to many Albanians to know that local workers, local businesses, and Albanian communities will be given priority and the opportunity to benefit directly from these projects. We welcome investment, development, and international partnerships, but we also hope that such progress will create lasting opportunities for the people of Albania and contribute to the prosperity of future generations. Thank you for your time and consideration. I wish you every success with your projects in Albania and hope they will become a positive example of responsible and respectful development. ๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ค๐บ๐ธ Ivanka Trump Jared Kushner ๐น Video courtesy of Olsi Meraj.

Albanians of Turkey ๐ฆ๐ฑโค๏ธ๐น๐ท When the streets of Istanbul fill with red and black, it is not just a celebration โ it is memory awakening. It is history breathing again. It is roots refusing to fade. According to official Turkish data from years ago , around 5 million people of Albanian origin live in Turkey today. But recent research from joint institutions in Albania and Kosova, including tells a deeper truth: ๐ over 10 million Albanians live in Turkey, with the majority in Istanbul alone following with Bursa. These are not numbers โ these are hearts. Families who carried Albanian names, language, blood, and pride across centuries. People who built lives in Turkey while never letting go of who they are. Empires rose and fell. Borders changed. Names were altered. But Albanian identity survived โ quietly, stubbornly, honorably. Seeing Albanians celebrate openly in Istanbul today is powerful. It says: we are still here. It says: we remember. It says: no distance can erase origin. To our brothers and sisters in Turkey โ you are not forgotten, you were never lost. You are part of the same story, the same roots, the same soul. Wherever Albanians live, Albania lives. Wherever Albanian hearts beat, history continues. ๐คโค๏ธ #AlbaniansOfTurkey #Arnavut #Istanbul #AlbanianDiaspora #Rrรซnjรซt #OneBloodOneHistory
