The "Feast of Shipshan" received the surname "the Great" right from the start, for the first time, on August 8, 2021 in Padesh, where I said at the time, in a devotional writing, that such a "Great" was born, for "from its own origin, mission, method and activity".

It was "Great", because its greatness was given by the natural alpine wonder of Padesh e Ujeza and its surroundings, one of the hundreds of most beautiful mountains in Albania, the Balkans, Europe and the World.

It was "Great", because the greatness was given by the history of Padesh with Koshare, the legendary Albanian Battle of Koshare, even more magnificent than the "Battle of Thermopylae" of the 300 BC Spartans. That the monumental Battle of Koshare broke the Kosovo-Albania border on April 9, 1990 AD. That the epic Battle of Koshare has 114 "Heroes of the Nation" announced by presidential decree of Kosovo, there are more Albanian heroes in one battle from the Neanderthal man to the "Time of Rugova". That without Padesh there is no Koshare, that without Koshare there is no Padesh, that without Padesh and Koshare there would be no Peaceful War, Freedom and Independence of Kosovo.

The "Shipshan Festival" is "Great", even when it is organized twice in Padesh (2021 and 2022) and this year in "Ara e Osë" (July 15, 2023), because the greatness is given by the epoch-making history of the province-tribe-Bajrak. of Shipshan. Because Shipshani (also with the local Berisha), lying along the ethno-historical, political and administrative border, for the Gjakova Highlands, even for its geophysical position, was the first as a striking force and as a center of support in the wars of large, numerous and permanent for Dardanian Kosovo, from the genetic time of the first of our tribe, who came from the historic Shipshanik Castle (Tuz/Malesi), from Kall Kamberi with his three sons Gega, Buça and Papa, and, decter, in the last war of Kosovo, from Padeshi to Kasaj (1999).

The "Festa e Shipshan", this year, on July 15, 2023, will be organized at "Ara e Osë", on the way to "Bješket e Bekuara", along the river of Sylbica, otherwise, when entering the territory of Shipshan, more precisely (must ) is called the "Shipshan River", that the history of its development and shaping dates back some 300 million years earlier, before Eve and Adam, before fire and ashes, before meat and bread. And when the Shipshian, Gashian, Porishian, bytycas warriors, after gathering at Komi Castle and taking a military break at "Ara e Ossa", went along the "Shipshan River" to fight for Plavë and Guci, just like in the Greatest War in the Albanian National History, in the Foreign War of Nokši? (1879-1880), when the Albanians for the first and only time rose up with fighting words and pen, with very epochal battle rifles against a World Congress like the Congress of Berlin (1878), against the 7 biggest powers of the world at that time, against the two countries of the Balkans. In this unrepeatable and unattainable war, in the War of Nokši?, the Alpine mountaineers of Shipshan were on the most difficult front of the battle, at Ura e Lim, where, as the song says, "they are fighting as much as our world" and as it says History "were decisive contributors to the victory of the Nokši? War".

The "Festa e Shipshan" is "Great", because its location in "Ara e Osë", one of the most beautiful places in the Albanian Alps, through the alpine heights, along the shipshan river, in the midst of greenery and flowers, makes it so. all in all, one of the places that connects Vrrin with Bjeshke, one of the most special resorts for warriors in history, for the ritual alpine skiers, for Albanian and foreign tourists.

This year, even in the "Great Festival of Shipshan" we will have more fishermen coming to the Shipshan River out of all those fishermen, we will have more immigrants coming from America, the United Kingdom, Portugal, Germany, Switzerland... from many countries of the world, there will also be Albanian and foreign tourists who have planned in their itinerary to be that day in "Ara e Osë" and in the Albanian Alps of Albania and Kosovo and in Montenegro.

Even this year, even at "Ara e Ossa", in this alpine natural wonder, with the "Great Festival of Shipshan", there will be the grandeur of the presence and the historical and current atmosphere of the Battle in Padesh-Koshare, because there/here , will come, like years, with dozens of soldiers with ranks and war wounds, with history of war and peace.

The "Feast of Shipshan" at "Ara e Ossa" is "Great", because it is also the "Festival of the Albanian National Unity". In the mountainous alpine heights of Tropoja is a border cliff, where the line-divides the Albania-Kosovo-Montenegro border, (mis)divides between the three present-day Balkan states. The greatness of the "Shipshan Festival" also lies in the current three-year anniversary of this Festival (2021-2022-2023) as the "Albanian National Unity Festival", because, here/there, dozens and dozens of Alpine mountaineers and state dignitaries will come , academic, cultural, military from the Dukagjin Plain of Kosovo (from Gjakova, Deçani, Juniku, Peja) and from the municipalities of Plava and Gucia in Montenegro, as well as from other municipalities of Kosovo, such as Prizren, Istogu (Source) , Klina, Prishtina, etc. and from Rozhaja, Tuzi (Malesi), etc. in Montenegro.

The "Shipshan Festival" is "Great", because it is organized by the love, pride and longing for the birthplace of Shipshan, because it is organized by the historical and civic mission and the volunteer spirit of the boys and girls, men and women of Shipshan; because it is organized by the well-known two-year association "Shipshani of the Gjakova Highlands" which has the valuable auxiliary guarantees of the Municipality of Tropoja and some ongoing and pending donations from the Shipshans in Albania, Kosovo and the Albanian Mergata; because all the participants, hundreds of participants, are co-organizers of this Festival that has entered and remains in the necklace of beauties and greatness of our Albanian National Holidays.

Welcome to the Great Shipshan Party!
