The theme: 40th day memorial for the deceased Konstantinos Kacifas in Bularat. Report on the Program of the Greek Ethnic Minority by the Police. Ban from going to our father's homes and participation in religious akoluthites. The rejection of free movement at the border for dozens of citizens of the European Union.
It is commemorated today in the Church of St. Athanasius in Bularat the Forty-day commemoration for the late, executed by the forces of police, Konstantin Kacifa. The Divine Liturgy and other accidental occasions were performed by the Metropolitan of Gjirokastra, Monsignor Dhimitri and other priests of Metropolis. Families and dozens of other believers from Bularat, other villages and Greece participated in the common prayer for the rest of the spirit of Constantinos. At the Enorsian Spiritual Center was offered to all participants café by the Church Council. There were also parliamentarians from the parliament of Greece and Albania as well as the General Consul of the Hellenic Republic in Gjirokastra.
