Albanian in Dallas: Kurt asked us to find an American and invest in Kosovo

The representative of the Albanian Community in Dallas, Hysen Zeqaj, has shown what the community's demands were at the May 11th meeting with Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti.

Zeqaj stressed that this has been the first visit to the community's 37-year history, made by a prime minister.

“This has been a welcome visit for us by Kosovo's prime minister, as for the first time in the 37-year history of this Albanian community in Dallas a chief state visit the Albanian committee, as ministers, MPs, mayors, heads of political parties, professors, rectors and others” have visited it so far, Zeqaj said in the Special Edition.

He said the main theme of this meeting was the worries Albanians have everywhere.

Our demands were that within this community we have a school of supplementary teaching for children every Sunday, where we have over 80 students, where we have personally secured some assistants and notebooks, some have brought us the diaspora ministry four years ago. Our demands are greater, we need other work tools, to unify the language learning system, culture, cultural heritage, to have some common unification or programme for children to know what they are learning about Albanian language, literature and identity in general”, he added.

Meanwhile, he also pointed to Prime Minister Kurti's demands on this community.

The key requirement was for investments to be made jointly, to find an American investor and in co-operation with an Albanian to make joint funds, as these will have more success. The possibilities are high, the taxes have promised to be low, but let's see what it's going to be”, he went on.
