TIRANA, Aug 30 /ATA/ – The European Union sees its commitment to supporting Albania in confronting its past as key to the Union’s mission of fostering a resilient and democratic society.
The EU Delegation to Albania said Thursday that this week EU representatives visited the town of Pogradec, a popular tourist destination in south-eastern Albania, to attend the symposium “From Past to Memory: The Borders of Dictatorship 1944-1991.”
This event serves as a powerful reminder of the tragic consequences of Albania’s border policies during the communist era, emphasising the need to preserve the memory of those who suffered.
In her remarks at the event, the EU representative Frédérique Hanotier said that learning from the past empowers citizens to build a more resilient and democratic society.
“Learning from the past empowers citizens to build a more resilient and democratic society. This is a complex issue, and the EU continues to strongly support Albania in dealing with its past and increasing social cohesion in the context of the country’s EU membership,” Hanotier said.
