Dalip Greca, a well-known journalist of our Albanian-American community is retiring after 12 years as Editor of Dielli, the oldest Albanian newspaper in the world.

I would like to commend Dalip for his tireless work in service of the Albanian community. As editor of the Illyria newspaper and later of Dielli, for more than two decades, he covered our events, interviewed our leaders, and wrote about our hopes and concerns.

Dielli, the newspaper of the PanAlbanian federation Vatra, grew and improved under his direction and now he is passing the torch to a new generation.

I am grateful to Dalip Greca for this contribution and wish him the best in this new chapter of his life.

At the same time, I would like to express my congratulations and my encouragement to the new editor of Dielli, Sokol Paja. I am confident that together with chairman Elmi Berisha and other leaders of Vatra they will continue to serve, with dedication and devotion, our community and our Albanian nation.
