Albania celebrates today 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 to all Albanians as Flag Day.

The head of the Provisional Government, Ismail Qemali, with the Act of Independence, announced the 6 Great Powers: England, Italy, Austria-Hungary, France, Germany and Russia, as well as the Balkan states: Romania, Montenegro, Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey, asking for recognition of independence.

On November 28, Ismail Qemali was announced as 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 marked a historical turning point for the Albanian people, because on the one hand the nearly five-century rule of the Ottoman Empire ended, on the other hand new political conditions were created.
