Hoxha: Albania, Kosovo moving towards European future

Comments he made on the second day of the Diaspora Summit, which is under way in Tirana.

We don't meet for our next meeting today, like every time we get together, a big heart beats in this hall, making this city more than just Albania's capital, making it a common home for all. The summit comes at a key moment, Albania is moving towards the European future, and the same can be said of Kosovo. The diaspora is not just abroad, not an address when we look when we need to, but a supplementing dimension of our national identity”.

The Albanian “juha is our DNA, it's memory, identity, continuity. Without the tongue we would have only the body left. Language efforts, in the region and diaspora, are efforts to be themselves. If our language that has resisted centuries weakens today when we are more knowledgeable and connected, our responsibility is ours alone. Let's take Albanian to the rightful place, the big European family. From the first generation that left with little hope, but a lot of courage, you have built a new chapter of global Albania. Even from a distance you have always close. Today in time of development, we want partners. Go wherever he is, the country where there are Albanians. Through the roots we are elevated, through knowledge we strengthen”, Hoxha said, Euronews reports. al
