The Institute for Security, Media, and Education has lit candles in "Mother Teresa" Square in Pristina, in honor of the historian and Albanologist from Croatia, Millan Sufflay (1879-1931). This commemoration took place on the anniversary of his death by the regime of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.

Agim Rexhepi from this organization stated that Millan Sufflay is a very powerful Croatian personality, diplomat, scientist, philosopher, and someone who has worked extensively for national interests.
He emphasized that Sufflay, as the founder of Albanology for the Albanian people, has also worked extensively on Albanian issues.
"At a time when our nation had a small number of educated individuals, he was a doctor of science and did a lot for us. This is the purpose and reason why we are holding this event today, and the second reason is the death of this personality. Today marks the 93rd year since his death. This personality was killed by the Serbs because he was a great patriot and the founder of Albanology for the Albanian nation. The special feature of this activity is that we will donate all these photographs to schools throughout Kosovo," he said.
Sufflay was decorated by the President of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani, with the Presidential Medal and in Albania with the "Naim Frashëri" award.
