On the 28th October, 2018, Konstantinos Katsifas, a 35-year-old man belonging to the native Hellenic community of the occupied Northern Epirus, was shot dead by Albanian police near Vouliarates, around 5km from the Greek-Albanian border, during an alleged shooting exchange between the man and special police forces.
Katsifas had raised the Hellenic flag for “OXI Day” to commemorate the Hellenic soldiers who lost their lives defending Hellas during the Greco-Italian War of 1940.
After raising the Hellenic flag, Katsifas shouted “Zito I Ellas!” (Hail Hellas!) as he took his last breath.
