Kosovo has declared Wednesday a day of mourning for the death of the well-known writer Ismail Kadare. 

The news was announced by the Office of the Presidency of Kosovo.

The colossus of Albanian literature passed away in the early hours of Monday at the age of 88 from natural causes. 

Tuesday and Wednesday are days of mourning in Albania, as a sign of honor and respect in memory of the well-known writer.

Public tributes and state ceremonies will be held tomorrow at the National Theater of Opera and Ballet in Tirana, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Meanwhile, at 13:00 on Wednesday, every activity will be stopped and a minute of silence will be held in honor of the colossus of Albanian letters.

Kadare is considered one of the giants of Albanian literature. Author of dozens of novels, poems and essays, he is probably among the most well-known Albanians in the world, with his works translated into over 40 different languages ??and published all over the world.

Kadare has been a candidate for the "Nobel" prize for literature several times in a row, while there are many prestigious international awards for his work, such as "International Booker Man Prize", "Prince of Asturias Award", "Jerusalem Prize", " Neustadt International Prize", "Nonino", "Park Kyong-ni"./ CNA
