“…One of the impressive films of this time was "The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum" based on the novel by Heinrich Böll, which shocked the evidence of the media's humiliation and murder of the main character. Another important movie experience was the mini-series "Der Bastard", which made me think about cybercrime (Ross, 2010). This type of interaction allows residents of one country to get to know the culture of another and to expand further communication between them.…”

“…One such package included more than 900 films, mostly German TV series, ranging from children's programs such as Hello Robbie to adult series such as "Love on Lake Garda", "Coast Guard", "The Last Witness", "SOKO Wismar". During the mentioned period (2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016), the presence of German films and the German language on Albanian public television was so strong that diplomats from other countries, such as the USA and Italy, expressed surprise during a visit to Tirana about the reasons and prerequisites for such significant media interest to German society, culture, and cinema (Ross, 2010). Television is one of the leading sources of mass media in Albania and Germany, so cooperation in this area allows for the development of the media system in general.…”

“…Nine German films have been selected to compete in the DEA Awards in the feature film category, including The West, Stiller Sommer, Fack ju Göhte, Beloved Sisters, Der Staat gegen Fritz Bauer, "Annas", "Ingenium", "Three Days in Quiberon" and "Bonnie and Bonnie".

“…Initially, this discussion arose from the statement of the head of the Institute for the Study of Crimes and Consequences of Communism that some films of the former film studio "Shqipëria e Re" violate the constitution and are offensive to the general population. This caused widespread debate, and the director of the Institute for the Integration of the Politically Persecuted asked the Audiovisual Media Authority (AMA) to ban films that "violate the moral integrity of the politically persecuted under communism" (Ross, 2010). The debate spanned different positions, including those who promoted reconciliation with the past through art, those who supported the banning of films, and younger artists who were critical and willing to apologise.…”

Studying the past interactions between Germany and Albania in the field of media is an important topic, as it is crucial for understanding the current challenges and finding solutions to promote cooperation and communication between two countries in the future. The purpose of the research is to compare the historical development of the mass media in Germany and Albania, as well as to consider the models of interaction between these countries in the field of media. During the research, the following methods of theoretical knowledge were used: analysis, comparison, synthesis, and generalization. As a result of the study, several conclusions were drawn, in particular, regarding the role and position of the mass media in Germany and Albania in different historical periods. Thus, it was found that the development of mass media began in the 19th century, under the influence of the industrial revolution. Albanian media during this period was not as independent as German media, because Albania was part of the Ottoman Empire. In the 20th century, interaction and assimilation of German and Albanian mass media began to take place, in particular, due to the activities of the communist regime and the process of liberalisation. In today’s world, the Albanian mass media have several problems, as they are dependent on private entrepreneurs and are also quite centralised. The study of the media interactions of Germany and Albania is valuable for historians and political scientists who seek to increase knowledge of their history, facilitate communication and cooperation between the two media systems. It is especially valid in identifying the model or standard towards which the Albanian media system should develop in its path towards self-regulation.
