Independence Day (Albanian: Dita Pavaresise) is a public holiday in Albania observed on 28 November. It commemorates the Albanian Declaration of Independence, which was ratified by the All-Albanian Congress on 28 November 1912, establishing the state of Albania.

Significance

Independence Day is celebrated every 28 November as a holiday in Albania, 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 Kemal. It coincides with the day in which Skanderbeg raised the same flag in Krujë, on 28 November 1443.
