“ROZHAJA, A TOWN WHERE EVEN THE POOR CELEBRATE
(With this title the Belgrade newspaper “Vreme” dated August 5, 1934 in its issue 4515, page 7 publishes the article by S. Ivezić)
Below we will give some quotes from this article adapted into Albanian.
The quotes from the newspaper were extracted and published in Serbian by Mr. Esad Rahić.

“The most backward, the most neglected, the least known, Rozhaja, which with Tutin constitute the two smallest towns of the Zeta municipality.

(…) As soon as I entered Rozhaja. Small town. Approximately 150 houses, several narrow cobblestone streets, with steep slopes. The deep, green Ibri River proudly flows through the bazaar. Rozhaja resembles a village. Nestled at the foot of the mountain. Divided into three neighborhoods: Lagja e Kuqeve, Zenelaga and Kurtaga. The inhabitants are 90% Muslim.

(…) The bazaar consists of two mosques, a church recently completed, a shoe factory, a barber shop and eight small shops.”
