TIRANA, Sept. 25 /ATA/ – Tirana hosted the SEEDS International Convention, held as part of the SEEDS project – Strengthening Entrepreneurship Economic Development Sustainably in the South Adriatic Area.
The convention opened on Sept. 23 with an official ceremony attended by Deputy Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport Marinela Prifti, representatives of the European Union Delegation in Albania and the Joint Secretariat, project partners and cultural-sector representatives from across the region.
