"Google" message for the 110th anniversary of Independence: Happy

Today, on one of the most important national days, the 110th anniversary of Independence, Google has given Albania a gift. On the main page, the red and black flag is placed on a sky background, and as you enter, there is also an explanation about Independence Day.

"Today Doodle celebrates the Independence Day of Albania or Independence Day in Albanian. On this day in 1912, the Albanian congress gathered in the city of Vlora and voted for the declaration of independence from Ottoman rule.

The celebrations start in the capital of Tirana where the President and the Prime Minister participate in the flag raising ceremony. Featured in today's artwork, the national flag of Albania features a red background with a black double-headed eagle in the center. The flag was first flown on this day in 1912. On Independence Day, it covers balconies, windows and even people as a symbol of national pride.

The city of Vlora is also a favorite destination. Albanians visit the tall Independence Monument in Flag Square to honor those who fought for freedom. Built by renowned national sculptors Muntaz Dhrami and Kristaq Rama, the monument depicts the famous leaders of the Albanian independence movement.
Happy Independence Day, Albania!", is the message on Google.
