Koha

"Koha" is the only daily newspaper in the country published exclusively in Albanian that has been in circulation without interruption. Dulovi and Ratkoceri started publishing the "Koha" newspaper at the end of 2006. However, the company behind the print media today, "Koha Production", was established two years later. This was due to the fact that the "Koha" newspaper was initially part of the media group associated with the businessman Velija Ramkovski, as well as the "A1" and "A2" television stations and the Macedonian print publications "Vreme" and "Spic".

The cooperation between Ramkovski and the duo Dulovi and Ratkoceri stopped in 2010. The founders of "Koha" explained that the shortfall happened because the businessman wanted to completely take over the newspaper and interfered with the editorial policy.
