Silvio Gonzato, the EU ambassador in Albania, stated, “By bringing together local historians, artisans, and global experts through collaboration with UNOPS, we are establishing a link between the nation’s history and its future. We proudly stand with Albania in honoring its heritage and promoting community cohesion.” (November 15)
