São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
Koplicu is a small town in the Shkodra district of northern Albania, ideally situated on the western shore of Lake Shkodra (the largest lake in the Balkan Peninsula), close to the Montenegrin border. Known for its tranquil lakeside scenery and simple local flavor, the town is surrounded by lush mountains and crystal clear lakes, making it a hidden destination for nature lovers. Although small in size, Kopli retains a traditional Albanian atmosphere, with brightly colored houses, winding stone paths, and small fishing boats moored by the lake, revealing an untouched and untouched charm. As one of the most important connections between Albania and Montenegro, it is also the starting point for exploring the natural and cultural corridor of Lake Shkodra, which attracts tourists looking for tranquility and nature.
