On February 7, 2025, the UOJ website in Albania officially went live. It has been integrated into the main website of the resource, just like the UOJ sites in Greece, Germany, and Serbia. With this, the UOJ has begun fully covering the life of Orthodox communities in Albania. UOJ correspondents will report on Orthodox life in Tirana and other parts of the country. Analytical materials, articles, and interviews will promptly and objectively inform readers about all significant events in the local Orthodox community.
On January 30, 2025, the UOJ opened its branch in Albania. At the same time, the platform launched its social media pages on Facebook and Viber. The first news material was a text article and a live-streamed broadcast from the funeral of the late Primate of the Albanian Orthodox Church, Archbishop Anastasios.
As a reminder, on November 21, 2024, the UOJ registered a new legal entity in Europe and opened branches in Greece and Germany. On February 7, 2025, the UOJ launched its branch and website in Serbia. More branches are expected to open in other European countries soon.
