At the congress, besides the Arb\u00ebresh, there were also representatives from Albanians residing in Romania and Austria, as well as friends of Albania from various countries. At the congress, it was decided to request the Italian government to open a branch of the Albanian language at the Oriental Institute of Naples and to officially recognize the Albanian language for Arb\u00ebresh residents. The Congress also decided to support the work of Albanian patriots for the spread of education and national culture in Albania, cooperating for this with the activists of Albania and the Albanian colonies in Romania, Egypt, etc. <i>(In the picture: View from Lungro of Calabria.)<\/i><\/p>\n<p><strong>Text:<\/strong> <i>Albanian encyclopedic dictionary &#8211; Vol. 2,<\/i> Academy of Sciences of Albania, &#8220;Kristalina-KH&#8221;, Tirana, 2008, page 1251.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Photo: <\/strong>\u00a9 https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ungra<\/p>\n<p><strong>Graphic processing: <\/strong>AHCF<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Lungro of Calabria, the second Arb\u00ebresh Congress for the language was convened,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2736,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7667","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ngjarje"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
