“Albania and Germany are connected by a close partnership, on a bilateral level and as allied countries of NATO. I am glad that through the start of membership talks this July, Albania has taken another historic step towards the European Union. Germany will continue to actively support your country on this path as a friend and partner. I wish you and your compatriots personal success and a future in peace, freedom and well-being”, he writes.
After the declaration of Independence, on November 28, 1912, the state bodies were also formed, the armed and law enforcement forces were established, and the work on the consolidation of education, health, administration, etc. began.
The government of Vlora laid the first stones for the creation of a judicial system according to European models.
The Albanian language was announced as the official language and it was decided to open Albanian schools from the fall of 1914.
The most important legal act that the temporary government of Vlora issued was the “Temporary Canon of the Civil Administration of Albania”, which was published in November 1913. Ismail Qemali proved to be the man who laid the foundation of the state on western values.
