The Aromanian publication Românul de la Pind ceased on November 25, 1912, ending decades of cultural and political advocacy.
Românul de la Pind served as an influential newspaper for the Aromanian community from the late 19th century. It promoted Aromanian language, culture, education, and political rights under changing Balkan regimes. Editors and contributors provided news, literary works, and political commentary to their readership. Facing financial strain and shifting borders, the paper released its final issue on November 25, 1912. Its closure marked the loss of a key platform for cultural cohesion among Aromanians. Today, historians view its archives as a vital resource for understanding Balkan minority history before World War II.
