Mesagjeritë Shqiptare Imprint Announced

Albanika Press has formally established Mesagjeritë Shqiptare, an imprint dedicated to the translation and cultural preservation of historically significant Albanian literary works.

The imprint revives the name of the press founded in 1943 by Musine Kokalari and her brothers, Mumtaz and Vesim — a press silenced along with Kokalari herself under Albania's communist regime. Its revival is an act of remembrance as much as publishing."
