The Mayor of Gjirokastra, Flamur Golemi, present at the big event, said that this is a celebration that brings together children, citizens and numerous tourists with a calendar of activities.

"We in Gjirokastra call it "prosopulla". Around the 1920s and 1930s, carnivals were celebrated in Korça and Shkodra, and of course in Gjirokastra. It is a calendar of activities of the Gjirokastra Municipality to celebrate, for children, citizens and tourists. We are waiting for you in Gjirokastra", said Golemi.
