This interest shows that readiness for active citizenship is present in communities all over Albania. #LevizAlbania #LevizPerDemokracinëVendore #DedikuarDemokracisëVendore 5 Call for Applications No. 6 40 initiatives successfully implemented by empowered civic actors, driving social change and improving local democracy in Albania The last local elections in Albania took place in a tense political environment. These elections were held without the participation of opposition candidates. As a result, citizens did not have the opportunity to choose between political alternatives. This situation affected local democracy and citizen engagement. In this context, LevizAlbania launched Call for Applications No. 6 with the objective to empower local civic actors who are active actors of change in their community to drive change and exert pressure on local government to take action benefiting citizens. Through Call for Applications No. 6 LevizAlbania supported 40 initiatives focusing on three priorities of intervention: Figure 1.

The municipality of Kukës has about 60,800 inhabitants out of which 66% live in rural areas, while only 25% of the budget available to the municipality is spent on rural communities. After the administrative and territorial reform, administrators of administrative units are now appointed by the mayor. Links between the rural population and municipal decision- making seem to have further weakened. Partners for Children applied to Call No. 6 of Leviz Albania to promote further consideration of the needs and interest of rural communities in the

  • Contribution to the Odonata Fauna of Albania and Montenegro
    FOLIA HISTORICO NATURALIA MUSEI MATRAENSIS 2013 37: 29–41 Contribution to the Odonata fauna of Albania and Montenegro DÁVID MURÁNYI & TIBOR KOVÁCS ABSTRACT: Faunistical data of 37 Odonata species collected in Albania since 2007, and 20 species collected in Montenegro during the past ten years are enumerated. Selysiothemis nigra (Vander Linden, 1825) is new to the fauna of Albania. Notes and figures are given concerning the taxonomy, distribution, and ecology of 15 taxa. Introduction Until the past ten years, the Odonata fauna of Albania and Montenegro was rather poorly studied. The previous research in Albania was discussed and contributed by MURÁNYI (2007), since then date were added regarding faunistics and taxonomy (KITANOVA et al. 2013, MURÁNYI 2010, OLIAS et al. 2007), and some ecofaunistical aspects (e.g. HALIMI et al. 2010). Very recently, another comprehensive overview and contribution was published on the Odonata fauna of Montenegro (DE KNIJF et al. 2013). In this paper we publish the Odonata material gathered as side targets by researchers and collaborators of the Hungarian Natural History Museum, the Mátra Museum of the Hungarian Natural History Museum, and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences during the last ten years in Montenegro, and in Albania since 2007. Besides the enumeration of faunistical data, we give notes and figures for taxonomy, distribution, and ecology of the some species found. Material and methods Specimens were collected by singling, with waternet, or sweeping net. They are stored in 70% ethanol and deposited in the Collection of Lesser Insect Orders, Department of Zoology, Hungarian Natural History Museum (HNHM), and in the Invertebrate Collection of the Mátra Museum of the Hungarian Natural History Museum (MM).

Most of them have been discovered and exploited from ancient times up to date. There are also other deposits for which a careful study and evaluation of geological reserves should be conducted. II.1. A General Overview in Mining Industry Albania is a country rich in mineral resources. Mineral exploration, exploitation and processing constitute a key component of the Albanian economy, due to a traditional mining industry, that has been a solid foundation to the country economic sector, generating substantial revenues. Chrome, copper, iron-nickel and coal, are some of the minerals mined and treated in Albania. Mining industry development in Albania has passed through three main stages: The first stage includes the period up to the end of World War II, marked by two important events. In 1922, has been compiled the first Geological Map of Albania, which was even the first of its kind in the Balkans. In 1929 has been approved the first Mining Law of the Albanian Kingdom, which paved the way to the exploration and/or exploitation of mineral resources in Albania; The second stage (1944-1994), marks the period when the mining activity has been organized in state-owned enterprises and the concept of mining privatization did not exist.

  • Child Trafficking in Albania. March, 2001
    1 CHILD TRAFFICKING IN ALBANIA. MARCH, 2001. THE DEFINITION OF TRAFFICKING: THE UN CONVENTION ON TRANSNATIONAL CRIME (THE PALERMO CONVENTION) ADOPTED BY THE UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY ON 15 NOVEMBER 2000: “Trafficking in persons means the recruitment, transportation, harbouring or receipt of persons either by threat or use of kidnapping, force, fraud, deception or coercion or by the giving or receiving of unlawful payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person for the purposes of sexual exploitation or forced labour” The report is by Daniel Renton (with assistance from local staff) It is often difficult to establish the age of victims, so while the focus is on children, the report also refers to women and children. The bulk of the research concerns victims trafficked for prostitution to Italy. The situation in Greece, with regards to trafficking for prostitution has not been researched. 2 A TRAFFICKING STORY In December 1998, a fifteen year old schoolgirl, Marjana Lleshi from Fushe Arrez in the north of Albania fell in love with XG. He promised to marry her and take her to Italy to start a new life. Although she didn’t want to go, he and his older brother persuaded her and another girl from Shkodra, to take a speedboat to Italy. When they arrived they were told that the marriage plans were over. Instead both of them were forced to become prostitutes. Meanwhile her sister, Klodeta, who’s a few years older, was abducted by neighbours in Fushe Arrez and taken to become a prostitute in Belgium.
