On 23 September 2021, the 10 May 1905 School was founded in Selenicë. It is a school for Aromanian children, where they can study for some hours every day in Aromanian as well as in Romanian. The school has two classes, both named after prominent figures for Romanian diplomacy: Vasile Stoica and Nicuță Balamaci. The school was founded without any financial support from the Romanian state by the Nicolae Iorga Foundation of Sarandë, a cultural association of Albanian Aromanians then led by president Pano Bakali.
