Each time, I receive a communication from Robert Elsie, I know I'll be the recipient of some marvelous new information about Albania and the Albanians. Indeed, I hope the Albanian government has been cognizant of Robert Elsie's unique, ongoing Albanian studies and has recognixed him and them accordingly!

Here's Robert Elsie's most recent, important contributions.

Bravo, Robert!
