Branko Merxhani
He was one of the most important cultural figures of the pre-World War II in Albania, publisher of Përpjekja shqiptare.[2] Originating from Sopik of Pogon kaza, his father was a judge in Nish, where he married with a local and Branko was born there.[3] He settled in Gjirokastër, where he worked with the Demokratia magazine published by Jorgji Meksi,[3] and along with Vangjel Koça,[1] it was through its pages that he first presented his ideological program, known as Neo-shqiptarisma.[6] He started writing articles for Illyria magazine run by Karl Gurakuqi; their collaboration went on from March 1934 until 1936.[1] From December 1935 he collaborated with the New Time (Albanian: Koha e Re) along with Suat Asllani, Petro Marko, Koça and Tajar Zavalani; but after 13 issues the journal stopped being published.
