Entitled "Elbasan is the heart of Serbia; here are the first relics of the Serbian saint", in the online version of" Kurir published an article accompanied by icons of the Orthodox Church in Elbasan.
"Tonight Elbasan is in the spotlight because of the match between Albania and Serbia. But what Albanians do not know is that this place holds a special place in the Serbian history.
