The Albanian state, in the framework of the revision of history, should announce and celebrate September 1 as one of the noted state days.

A September is not the day of an individual, family or a certain group, but one of the few extremely significant days for the Albanian state, since its foundation.

The kingdom is not just a political regime, but a stage that homogenizes society, a common national shield, which almost all modern states have passed. About two decades
after the establishment of the Albanian state, Albania was the only country in the Balkans and the Albanians were the only nation that did not have this shield, while all other states and nations in this region had formed the corresponding political unit precisely from their kingdoms.

For the first time in its state-building history, with the Kingdom, Albania was consolidated as a stable state and functioned as such for 11 years, in contrast to the previous 16 years during which it either experienced a power vacuum, or weak governments, which did not even fill the weather.

The institution of the Albanian Monarchy sanctioned by law the completeness and common belonging of the Albanian nation. The Albanian monarchy governed the country through a democratically elected parliament, putting
an end to the fragmentary policies that had threatened it quite a bit throughout the time after the establishment of the Albanian state.

For the first time under the Monarchy, the Albanian state was recognized by all Western countries, first by the USA and the United Kingdom. The previous governments were generally not recognized, because they did not manage to be institutionalized at a sufficient level to gain international recognition.

A country whose governance is not internationally recognized for 16 years is absolutely a dangerous country. If Albania had continued to remain in this situation, almost an institutional vacuum, it would have attracted not only the greed of the surrounding kingdoms, but also the indifference, disregard and even questioning from the great powers.

It cannot be pointed out that, in quite a few previous cases, even state Albania itself was in danger of being discussed as a state entity.

With the proclamation of the Kingdom, King Zog oriented the entire structure and institutions of government according to the best Western models. Rarely in the history of Albania, the best legal, economic, military and diplomatic expertise of Western countries was called upon.

The Basic Statute, the civil code, the commercial code, the criminal code, the code of civil procedure, etc., drawn up under this expertise, marked the complete separation from the legislation of the Ottoman period and oriented Albania towards the construction and operation of a modern state, with the orientation of clearly western european.

That state lasted only 11 years, but left Albania a wealth of concepts, practices and institutions, the standard of which, in many ways, has hardly been reached by subsequent governments.

Therefore, the Albanian state, in the framework of the revision of history, should announce and celebrate September 1 as one of the marked state days.

A September is not the day of an individual, family or a certain group, but one of the few extremely
significant days for the Albanian state, since its foundation. /CNA
