Korçë

Rruga që të çon në fshatin turistik të Dardhës, një fshat malor rreth 14 kilometra larg qytetit të Korçës, prej muajsh është në rikonstruksion e sipër, por kjo nuk i ka penguar turistët vendas dhe të huaj që të vizitojnë këtë fshat mes maleve dhe gjelbërimit. I vizitueshëm në çdo stinë të vitit, fshati turistik i Dardhës numëron në këto 6 muaj të parë të vitit mbi 6 mijë turistë ditorë vendas dhe 97 të huaj, thotë për ATSH-në, kryetari i Shoqatës së Agroturizmit për rajonin e Korçës, Niko Balli. Ai shton se, ka patur pushues nga qytete të ndryshme të vendit, por edhe të huaj si nga Gjermania, Amerika e Greqia, që janë mrekulluar me natyrën e mikpritjen që gjejnë në Dardhë. "Vizitorët e huaj nuk janë emigrantë, por thjesht turistë që kanë dëgjuar për Dardhën dhe vijnë të shijojnë bukuritë e saj, klimën malore e gatimet tradicionale", thotë Balli, i cili nisur nga interesimi në rritje i pushuesve vendas e të huaj për Dardhën po investon për ndërtimin e një hoteli alpin në këtë fshat, i cili është dhe origjina e tij. Rruga që të çon në fshatin Dardhë rreth 14 kilometra e gjatë është në 4 kilometrat e fundit, përmes një fondi prej 5.8 milion lekësh dhënë nga buxheti i shtetit. Pritet edhe ndërtimi i një skipiste, projekti për të cilën është hartuar para 4 vitesh dhe Dardha do të ketë kështu më shumë vizitorë edhe në stinën e dimrit, e natyrisht më shumë pushues që të shijojnë bukuritë e saj natyrore e njerëzore. Edhe banorë të tjerë të fshatit e kanë kuptuar tashmë se, perspektiva e Dardhës qëndron tek zhvillimi turistik dhe po investojnë për ndërtime lokalesh shërbimi, hotele dhe restorante që po shtohen nga viti në vit. "Në fshat janë 4-5 mjedise shërbimi si restorante dhe hotele, por edhe disa shtëpi që aplikojnë turizmin familjar", vijon të tregojë Niko Balli, për kushtet që afron Dardha. Sipas tij, disa familje i kanë shndërruar shtëpitë e tyre në qendra pritjeje për vizitorë nga Shkodra e Durrësi, për një periudhë dy javore. Ndërsa, pushuesit që preferojnë turizmin ditor, kryesisht në fundjavë akomodohen në hotele, por edhe në çadra të ngritura në natyrë. Gatimi i lakrorit me dy petë dhe rakia e kumbullës së egër, janë dy specialitetet karakteristike që të ofrojnë në Dardhë, atje ku mikpritja ndihet sapo shkel në pragun e një porte. Dardhari Sotir Pani, edhe pse jeton në Amerikë, ka ngritur një muze privat në banesën e tij, për t'i treguar çdo vizitori të interesuar traditën e fshatit turistik, që zë fill nga vitet '30-të të shekullit të kaluar, kur korçarët shkonin në Dardhë për piknike. Pikniku është një traditë që nuk ka humbur në këtë zonë. Emil Fundo, një banor i Korçës, tregon se çdo të dielë së bashku me familje të tjera pushojnë dhe argëtohen në klimën malore e të shëndetshme të këtij fshati, e atje mes natyrës çlodhëse gatuajnë, luajnë sport e këndojnë. Teodor Laço, shkrimtari i njohur me origjinë nga Dardha, ka shkruar një tekst kënge për fshatin e tij, që flet për shtëpitë gri të mbuluara me plloça guri, për shkëmbin e vjeshtës që i rri përballë, natyrën dhe kënaqësinë që gjen atje dhe qeflinjtë korçarë të serenatave nuk harrojnë ta këndojnë atë. Të shumtë janë dhe vizitorët nga qytete të tjera. "Energjia elektrike nuk na ka munguar, e ne përpiqemi të sigurojmë kushte sa më të mira pushimi për vizitorët", vijon Balli, i cili nuk e fsheh kënaqësinë që Dardhën e preferojnë vazhdimisht pushues të ndryshëm, duke i dhënë gjallërinë e munguar që ia ka marrë emigracioni në SHBA apo Greqi. Rruga që të çon në Dardhë është drejt asfaltimit të plotë dhe kjo do të jetë një lehtësi për shumë vizitorë që pa shumë mëdyshje do të kalojnë pushime ditore dhe javore mes gjelbërimit, ajrit të freskët e qetësisë.

Kam qenë në një koncert të saj në Prishtinë më 1996 dhe më ka pëlqyer shumë Eli Fara edhe kështu "e gjallë".

Korçë (Albanian: Korçë or Korça) is a major city in the Korçë District of south-eastern Albania, located at [show location on an interactive map] 40°37′N 20°46′E / 40.617, 20.767. It has a population of around 57,758 people (2008 estimate), making it the seventh largest city in Albania. It stands on a plateau some 850 m (2,800 ft) above sea level, surrounded by the Morava Mountains. According to the Albanian census of 1989, Albanians compromise 97.8% of the population of the district, Macedonians 2%, and others, less than 0.2%. Neolithic remains have been found indicating occupation of the site from 4000 BC onwards. The Copper Age lasted from 3000 BC to 2100 BC, and was followed by the Bronze Age. A town named 'Coviza' is mentioned in medieval documents in 1280. The modern town dates from the end of the 15th Century, when Iljaz Hoxha, under the command of Sultan Mehmet II, developed Korça. The Ottoman occupation began in 1440, and after Hoxha's role in the siege of Constantinople, in 1453; he was awarded the title, 'Iljaz Bey Mirahor'. Korçë was a sandjak of the Manastir vilayet in Ottoman Empire. Ottoman rule over Korçë lasted until 1912; although the city and its surroundings were planned to become part of the Principality of Bulgaria according to the Treaty of San Stefano in 1878, the Treaty of Berlin of the same year returned the area to Ottoman rule.[1] Korçë's proximity to Greece, which claimed the entire Orthodox population as Greek, led to its being fiercely contested in the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913. The city was occupied by Greek forces in 6 December 1912. Its incorporation into Albania in 1913 was controversial, as Greece claimed it as part of a region called 'Northern Epirus'. However, in accordance with the Corfu Protocol signed between Greece and Albania in 1914 and the ethnographic survey that preceded it, the city was included in the newly formed Autonomous Northern Epirus zone, the autonomous status of which, however, never came into being. Greek forces took over the city on 10 July 1914 during the early part of the First World War[citation needed], which had not really started anywhere else at this point. In fact this act preceded the Austro-Hungarian ultimatum to Serbia by 13 days. As World War I proceeded, Korçë was then taken by the Austro-Hungarians, then by the Greeks again and finally by France, which occupied Korçë between 1916-1920. It ultimately remained part of Albania, as determined by the International Boundary Commission which affirmed the country's post-war borders. However a Republic of Korçë was proclaimed there in 1918. This was meant to be a forerunner of the Republic of Pindus which was supposed to become an autonomous Vlach or Aromanian state. During the inter-war period, the city became a hotbed of Communist agitation. Albania's future dictator, Enver Hoxha, lived there and was both a pupil and a teacher at the town's French school. Korçë's underground Communist movement became the nucleus of Hoxha's Albanian Party of Labour. During the 1930s, the Bank of Athens had a branch in the city. Korçë was occupied by Italian forces in 1939, along with the rest of the country. After the outbreak of the Greco-Italian War, the Greek Army entered the city in November 1940, and remained under Greek sovereignty until the German attack in April 1941. After Italy's withdrawal from the war in 1943, the town was occupied by the Germans until October 24, 1944. During the occupation, the city became a major centre of Communist-inspired resistance to the Axis occupation of Albania. The establishment of the Albanian Party of Labour – the Communist Party – was formally proclaimed in Korçë in 1941. Albanian rule was restored in 1944 following the withdrawal of German forces. The area suffered from Hoxha's dictatorial regime like the rest of Albania, although it is arguable whether it was to as great an extent. Hoxha mainly fought against the rich, despite the fact that they had often fought against the Nazi and fascist occupation. Thousands of people from Korça were sent to concentration camps or executed for disagreeing with Hoxha's regime. Hundreds of people fled to Boston, USA, joining an already existing Albanian community who had previously emigrated to the region. After 1990 Korça was one of the six cities where the New Democratic Party won all the constituencies. Popular revolts in February 1991 ended with the fall of Hoxha's statue. [edit] Name Korça is named differently in other languages: Aromanian: Curceaua or Cоrceaо; Bulgarian: Корча, Korcha or Корче, Korche; Greek: Κορυτσά, Koritsá; Italian: Corizza; Macedonian: Горица, Gorica; Turkish: Görice.

Klubi Sportiv Skënderbeu Korçë is an Albanian football (soccer) club based in Korçë. Their home ground is "Skënderbeu Stadium" (8.000 seats).

Three-time finalists in Albanian Cup on 1958, 1965 and 1976 (losing all times), and won the Albanian Second Division in same year (1976). In the season 2006-07, the club played in the Albanian First Division and finished 1st, with 17 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses. So for the 2007/08 they have been promoted to the Albanian Superliga. After a poor season in the top flight they have been relegated to the Albanian First Division with 2 wins, 2 draws and 28 losses. They managed to score 26 goals but conceded 80, finishing last place with just 11 points.

The town of Korça (pronounced: Korchah') is the regional capital of the south-east of Albania, dominated by the Morava mountains to the east. It is interesting, historic, with rich cultural traditions and som eintersting buildings from the Ottoman period, including one of the most important mosques in Albania. The Korça region has been inhabited from the earliest times with neolithic remains found indicating occupation of the city for last 6000 years.The Copper ( Bakri) epoch, lasted from 3000 BC to 2100 BC, followed by a Bronze Age influenced in city 's cultural. In the Iron Age cultural influences from Greece became very strong. A town Coviza is mentioned in medieval documents in 1280. The modern town dates from the end of the 15 th Century, when Iljaz Hoxha, under the command of Sultan Mehmet II , dveloped Korça. The Ottoman occupation began in 1440, and after Hoxha's heroic role in the siege of Constantinople, in 1453, he was awarded the title, 'Iljaz Bey Mirahor'. In the 19 th century it bacame prosperous, and a centre of the Albanian nationa consciousness. In 1887 was established the first school teaching in the Albanian language, and 1891 the first Albanian school for girls. The region was in turmoil during the Balkan Wars suffered losses of buildings and population, coming under pressure from the Greek irredentist movements of the time. Korça was occupied by Greek forces on 6 December 1912. It surrendered to the Boundary Commissioners, but was retaken by Greek forces on 10 July 1914. The English Albanologist Edith Durham was forced to leave Korça at this time. She described the situation in her letter directed to H. Hodgkingson on 11 January 1939 : "The pro- Greek gang at King's College started a story that I had had to fly for my life from Korcha because they all wanted to be Greek and I had tried to stir up Albanian trouble. The truth being that I and Nevison, who was there as a correspondent, made a forced march of three days- two nights sleeping on the bare ground-across the montains to Berat at the urgent request of the Albanians. Berat being the nearest station from which a tegram could be sent, uncontrolled be the Greeks. Nevison drafted the telegram to the Council of Ambassadors in London begging that no attention be paid to the Greek account of a meeting asking for Greek rule. This meeting having been a forced one held with Greek bayonets. This telegram saved Korcha. The Greek governor made everyone paint their shops blue and white. And after the hideous cruelty of the Greeks when they raided south Albani in 1914...I have no use whatever for Greeks. I can never forget the crowds of refugee women and children dying and starving under the olive trees around Vlora.... The matter was never bothered about. But it was I believe, part of the whole Sarajevo crime plot. The Greeks and Sebs were workin together to take Albania. They meant to drive out Wied. And it was they who planned the rising against him. While I was still at Vlora, the Serbs sent a message they would attack Vlore and they had France and Russia on their side. Vlore had better surrender. But the Austrian attack on Serbia stooped that." During the First World War, the region was occupied by Austria- Hungary, then again by the Greeks and then by French troops in 1916. An autonomous republic of Korça, known to Greeks as Koritsa, then set up was overthrown as a result of Greek entry into the war on the side of the Allies. French occupation ended in 1920 but cultural influence continued. In 1929 the inhabitants of Korça were active in the agitation for prince Wilhelm of Wied to return to Albania as monarch.
