From Prishtina to Kruja: closing a month on the road

We ended our journey at Skanderbeg’s castle in Kruja. A month earlier, on September 14, we had left Prishtina for Vienna and the museum that holds his sword and helmet.

Thank you to everyone who followed us and shared so much warmth along the way.

We are carrying that energy into KONCENTROHU, our Albanian-language podcast, with the aim of bringing Albanians around the world closer together. It shares the spirit of dua.com’s mission: helping Albanians connect, find love and build families.

This stage of the journey ends here. The work of connecting people continues.
