A monument in Berlin brought me back to the League of Prizren and 1878. I shared the story—and got the order of events wrong. The history matters enough to correct it.
Historical clarification: the sequence in my original caption was incorrect. The League of Prizren was founded on 10 June 1878, three days before the Congress of Berlin began, not three weeks afterwards. This order is also set out in the Kosovo Prime Minister’s anniversary account.
The original post also invokes a statement about Albanian nationhood. Its precise wording and attribution are not established here. The verified chronology is enough to make the important distinction: the gathering in Prizren preceded the congress. The original clips remain linked below alongside this clarification.
In another Berlin reflection, I also had to qualify what I said about war memorials and remembrance.
