Independent Albania

Rustemi's teaching career continued in independent Albania from 1920 onwards. In April 1921, Rustemi gathered representatives from 25 different associations across the country and officially co-founded the Atdheu ("Fatherland") society in Vlorë on 3 May. The federation had about thirty branches, and although its statutes called for political neutrality, it maintained close ties with the authorities, receiving financial support from the government.
