"November 17, 1944 - November 17, 2025 Today we honor with deep gratitude the Liberation of Tirana - the day when our city rose above the darkness, with courage and sacrifice for freedom. We respectfully commemorate all those who fought, who sacrificed and who left us the legacy of the free and proud Tirana that we have today. Our duty is to move it forward with work and dignity. Happy Liberation Day!" , writes Veliaj.
On November 17, 1944, Tirana was liberated from the German army in World War II. The liberation of Tirana is a historic moment and is considered one of the most important and successful operations that UNÇSH units have carried out against German forces and their collaborators for the liberation of the cities of Albania.
The liberation of the capital was assigned to the 1st Assault Corporation, through an operational-strategic plan of the General Command that envisaged the creation of an internal and external front with the aim of closing and striking the German garrison inside Tirana.
The operation was carried out in three phases: the preparatory phase (September 12 – October 28), the first phase of the attack (October 29 – November 10), and the final attack phase (November 11 – 17).
The offensive operation to liberate Tirana ended in victory, after 19 days of fierce fighting inside the city, as well as along the roads leading to it. On November 17, Tirana was liberated. The Battle of Mushqeta played a special role in the success of the operation.
