KUSH DHE PSE NUK MORI PJESЁ NЁ KONGRESIN E MANASTIRIT
WHO AND WHY DIDN’T PARTICIPATE IN THE CONGRESS OF MANASTIR

Summary/Abstract: Discussions regarding the unique alphabet for writing in Albanian language were initiated since early twentieth century, but more extensive dimensions were taken by the end of this century. In journalistic discussions on lots of issues, among which was also organizational mode, participated a great number of distinguished names of science, literature, journalism such as De Rada, A. Z. Çajupi, Sh. Kolonja, Asdreni, A. Xhuvani, Th. Sina, H. Mosi, Th. Floqi, P. N. Luarasi, Sh. Gjeçovi, F. Noli and lots of others. Only Faik Konica, who was not invited in the Congress, published in the journal Albania more then 40 papers, letters and discussions. Konica consulted regar-ding the alphabet foreign albanologists, too. He was one of the greatest objectors of the Istanbul alphabet. Special invitation for participation in the congress had received neither Asdren nor Çajup. Regardless the numerous problems associated regarding holding of the congress, he achieved to make appropriate solution in accor-dance with circumstances and conditions of the time. The Congress of Manastir didn’t succeed to solve definitely the issue of unique alphabet for writing in Albanian language, but succeeded to calm down, to close up, amortize, reconcile confronting parts and to bring a modus vivendi, while time and practice do their part, that is appropriate solution.
