Sot, ne shqiptarët kudo që jemi, bashkohemi për të festuar një nga ditët më të rëndësishme të kombit tonë – Ditën e Pavarësisë dhe Flamurit Kombëtar. Kjo ditë është simbol i krenarisë, lirisë dhe sakrificës së të gjithë atyre që luftuan për një Shqipëri të lirë dhe të pavarur.

Më 28 Nëntor 1912, Ismail Qemali ngriti flamurin tonë të shenjtë në Vlorë, duke shpallur pavarësinë e Shqipërisë. Ky flamur i kuq me shqiponjën dykrenare është shenjë e identitetit dhe unitetit tonë kombëtar, që na kujton të mos harrojmë kurrë rrënjët dhe historinë tonë.

Sot është dita për të festuar, për të kujtuar dhe për t’u frymëzuar nga e kaluara jonë e lavdishme. Le të vazhdojmë të ndërtojmë një të ardhme të ndritur për brezat e ardhshëm, duke ruajtur vlerat tona kombëtare dhe duke qëndruar gjithmonë të bashkuar.

This was be one of the most high-profile community gatherings of the year, bringing together leading Albanian organisations in London, distinguished Albanian professionals, and other key figures.

Today, we bid farewell to a BAKC Trustee, a vibrant soul, an artist, and a compassionate heart.

With deepest sorrow, we celebrate the life of Buqe, a brilliant artist, devoted to the community, and selfless mentor. Her palette of kindness, wisdom, and creativity painted beauty into countless lives. Though her physical journey ends, her kaleidoscope of colors, love, and legacy remain, inspiring future generations. May her spirit soar in eternal peace.

We are delighted to share a significant moment in history as we mark 111 years of Albania’s independence.

Tonight, at the esteemed House of Lords in London, we gathered to celebrate Independence and National Flag Day, graciously invited by Baroness Blake. This historic celebration is the first of its kind within this esteemed British institution.

This celebration serves as a testament to the success of the Albanian community in the UK, expressing deep gratitude to the United Kingdom for its unwavering support and friendship over the years.

In a heartfelt celebration for November 28th, today the community joined hands to honour Albania’s National Flag Day and Independence Day. The event, marked by compelling speeches from the Kosovan consul, resonated with the essence of unity as participants engaged in stirring performances, traditional dances, and cultural recitations. The significance of November 28th, representing the proclamation of independence in 1912, was underscored, and the national flag served as a powerful symbol of pride and resilience.

The cultural showcase brought to life the diverse tapestry of Albanian heritage through songs and dances, emphasizing the enduring spirit that defines the nation. Moreover, the event embraced a charitable aspect, reflecting the Albanian ethos of community support. As we reflect on this joyous celebration, we invite you to join our projects and charitable initiatives. Your contribution will empower communities, promote education, and embody the altruistic values that have been central to our nations journey toward freedom. Together, let us continue to build a brighter future inspired by the unity and pride that characterize Albania’s Independence and Flag Day.

Today marks 15 years since the declaration of Kosovo’s Independence, which was made on February 17, 2008, at 3:39 PM in the Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo in Pristina.

As usual community organisations jointly organised the celebration.

The program opened with the national anthem followed by speeches starting with Ambassadors of Kosova and Albania and the excellent interpretations of children and young people with songs, dances and recitations.
