Specific comments on bank and public holidays in Albania
Holidays falling on a Sunday are generally forwarded to Monday.
Footnotes
| ** |
Religious Holidays : Bank holidays, legal holidays and public holidays based on certain religious calendars are subject to local variations due to differing interpretations between different religious authorities, or to seemingly arbitrary changes in the date a holiday is celebrated because it conflicts with another holiday that is based on another calendar, or because the day of the holiday is deemed inauspicious (bad luck), To find out more about these uncertainties, see the specific footnote, if any, for each holiday. |
| ( 2 ) |
Muslim Holidays : Muslim bank holidays, legal holidays and public holidays for Albania were evaluated using the Umm al-Qura Calendar of Saudi Arabia which is used in Saudi Arabia and in most of the Persian Gulf States. Holidays may occur a day later in countries outside the Gulf region. The sunrises, sunsets, moon phases, moonrises and moonsets used in these calculations are based on the location of Mecca (latitude 21.42°N, longitude, 39.82°E, GMT+3 hours, no summer time rules). |
| ( b ) |
Omitted Holidays : Holiday does not occur in 2007. Unless this is an Arbitrary holiday (see the Observance column), this usually happens to holidays that occur around December 31st or January 1st and are moved forward or backward if they fall on a weekend, or also sometimes to lunisolar holidays and holidays based on calendars that can have leap months, making some of their years longer than 365 days (for example, the Chinese Lunar, Hindu Lunar and Jewish calendars). |
| ( c ) |
Days in Lieu : These bank holidays, legal holidays and public holidays, in Albania, have specific official rules that determine that they are moved, or that a days in lieu is given when they occur on a Saturday or on a Sunday, or in both cases. The effects of those rules have already been included in the dates displayed above. |
| ( i ) |
Duplicated Holidays : Holiday occurs more than once in2007. |
| ( n ) |
Sundays : As mentioned in footnote (i), above, our research indicates that bank holidays, legal holidays and public holidays that occur on a Sunday in Albania, are moved, or that days in lieu are given. The fact that the date displayed above is a Sunday means that this particular holiday does not move. Examples of this are religious holidays such as Easter Sunday, or the actual date of a holiday, such as Christmas, for which an additional day in lieu is given when it occurs on a weekend. |
