History
The Albanian national anthem was first published as a poem in an Albanian newspaper in Sofia, Bulgaria, on 21 April 1912. It was later printed in a volume of poems by Drenova, which was published in Bucharest, Romania. The music of the anthem was composed by the Romanian composer Ciprian Porumbescu, as he wanted to compose an anthem for socialist Romania, but was rejected.[1][3]
