THE “TIRANA 2025” BOOK FAIR, OFFICIAL THANK-YOU NOTE FROM NACIONAL PUBLICATIONS

Nacional Publications express their gratitude and highest appreciation to all writers, poets, scholars, translators, publishers, artists, and readers of literature who visited our stand at the “Tirana 2025” Book Fair, thereby contributing to a sustained cultural and intellectual dialogue.

With particular gratitude, we thank the hundreds of supporters of the literary newspaper Nacional, of Radio Nacional 93.6 MHz, and of Nacional Publications who travelled from Kosovo, North Macedonia, Montenegro, the Presheva Valley, and the Diaspora in order to participate in the Book Fair and to offer their heartfelt support to our publishing mission.

We extend our professional respect to all creators and collaborators who, throughout this year, chose to realize their projects through Nacional Publications and to publish their works under our imprint, thus contributing to the expansion and enrichment of our editorial platform.

We also thank all our friends who shared with us ideas, recommendations, and conceptual approaches for potential joint projects, as well as the authors who entrusted Nacional Publications with the publication of their works in the Albanian language, within the framework of our ongoing commitment to support Albanian literature and studies on the national question.

Likewise, we express our special appreciation to the foreign writers, poets, artists, and translators from various countries and from all continents who collaborated this year with Nacional Publications and with the literary and cultural newspaper Nacional. Their professional contribution, intercultural experience, and the aesthetic and scholarly insights they brought to our publications represent a valuable treasure, further expanding our editorial space and strengthening international cooperation in the fields of literature, culture, and translation.

The literary and cultural newspaper Nacional, the national weekly, together with our media platforms—Nacional Publications, Radio Nacional, and Nacional TV online—remain committed to listening to and integrating your ideas, suggestions, and perspectives, with the aim of further improving our publishing work and our institutional presentation at next year’s book fair.

We express our gratitude to all of you whom we had the opportunity to meet at our stand, as well as to those whom, due to circumstances, we were unable to welcome this year. Rest assured that the doors of Nacional Publications remain open to collaborations, proposals, and professional initiatives in the fields of literature, culture, and Albanian studies.

With profound respect for your contribution and presence,

Dr. Mujë Buçpapaj
