What is fixed and what may change
The dates follow from the Law on Holidays. Each year the government also publishes a list of non-working days. The list for 2027 was not yet out when we checked, so we used the law and the 2026 list.
Ramazan Bajram (Eid al-Fitr) is a day off for everyone. Its date depends on the Islamic calendar, so 9 March is an estimate until the government confirms it. The same applies to Kurban Bajram.
When a holiday for everyone falls on a Sunday, the next day is off. In 2027 no such holiday falls on a Sunday. Holidays on a Saturday, such as 1 May and 23 October, are not moved.
Many days apply only to one religion or community, for example Orthodox Good Friday, Catholic Christmas or Albanian Alphabet Day. Only employees who belong to that group get the day off, and these days are not moved when they fall on a weekend.
