Issa Boletini on the New York Times written on September 12th, 1912. Albanian William Tell
Patriot Shoots Through Follower's Fez to show Skill.
Uskub, Sept. 10- An interesting diversion among Albanians has been noted by the correspondents here. Two friends see each other from a distance and one, desirous of attracting the attention of his comrade, aims at his fez and shoots a hole through it. Both then approach, shake hands heartily, and smile. The most expert patriot in this form of salutation is Issa Bolatinaz, or , as his tribesmen call him, Bolatine, who is covered with Turkish wounds recieved from both bullets and daggers.Bolatine combines the characteristics of a bandit, revolutionary, and patriot. It is chiefly due to his initiative that the Albanians decided to march to Salonika. There was some dissension on this subject among the leaders, but Issa prevailed.
"There" he said "near the walls of the villa prison of Abdul we shall be able to enforce the unconditional acceptance of our demands."Bolatine is illiterate. He can hardly sign his name, and printed matter is to him a puzzle.click for more

Ishte kënaqësi e beftë dhe e veçantë çfletimi dhe kqyrja e albumit fotografik “Vlora ky qytet…” të arkitektit vlonjat Pirro Stefa. E veçante sepse shumë rrallë, të bien në dorë përmbledhje fotografish të vjetra dhe, të papritur për nga mënyra e përpilimit të tij. Fotografitë e botimit, në shumicën e tyre janë kartolina të bëra nga të huajtë, por ndër to ka edhe të realizuara nga fotografë shqiptarë. klik për më tepër
