  • Albania 2019 Crime & Safety Report
    Albania 2019 Crime & Safety Report This is an annual report produced in conjunction with the Regional Security Office at the U.S. Embassy in Tirana, Albania. The current U.S. Department of State Travel Advisory at the date of this report’s publication assesses Albania at Level 1, indicating travelers should exercise normal precautions. Overall Crime and Safety Situation The U.S. Embassy in Tirana does not assume responsibility for the professional ability or integrity of the persons or firms appearing in this report. The American Citizens’ Services unit (ACS) cannot recommend a particular individual or location, and assumes no responsibility for the quality of service provided. Please review OSAC’s Albania-specific page for original OSAC reporting, consular messages, and contact information, some of which may be available only to private-sector representatives with an OSAC password. Crime Threats There is considerable risk from crime in Tirana. The Albanian government is making a concerted effort to improve the country’s law enforcement capabilities and reduce corruption. Organized crime has a noted impact on Albania, with a network of criminal organizations involved in drug trafficking, extortion, bribery, money laundering, prostitution, and human trafficking. Recent crime statistics indicate a decrease in numerous violent crime categories; this includes murder/attempted murder, robberies by force, and armed robberies. Street crime is fairly common in urban areas, predominantly at night. The most notable crimes are burglaries, theft, and domestic violence claims. If confronted by armed assailants, comply with demands. Sexual assault and harassment is an issue mostly in the smaller towns. The victims tend to be females walking alone.

Introduction World Vision is a child focused relief, development and advocacy organization working in more than 100 countries, including in ten EU countries and a number of countries of the EU Neighborhood and Enlargement Policy area. World Vision has worked in Albania since 1999, when thousands of Kosovars flooded in to Albania’s territory to flee Serb military advancements; some 450,000 Kosovars sought refuge in Albania.1 After the crisis response, WV developed its program based on the needs of the Albanian community with a development and advocacy approach initially covering only a few areas of the country. Soon the World Vision program in Albania grew to cover 10 districts (Elbasan, Vlora, Lezha, Kurbin, Tirana, Durres, Shkodra, Librazhd, Dibra and Korca) employing 300 staff and impacting the lives of 32.000 children with its specific programs on education, child protection, health, economic development and youth. At the national level the organization is an active advocate for child rights in the education and child protection areas, operatingwhenever possible in partnership with other NGOs and agencies, as well as through the National Coalition for Child Rights (BKTF) being one of its most active members.

  • National Myths in Interdependence
    National Myths in Interdependence: The Narratives of the Ancient Past among Macedonians and Albanians in the Republic of Macedonia after 1991 By Matvey Lomonosov Submitted to Central European University Nationalism Studies Program In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts CEU eTD Collection Advisor: Professor Maria Kovács Budapest, Hungary 2012 Abstract The scholarship on national mythology primarily focuses on the construction of historical narratives within separate “nations,” and oftentimes presents the particular national ist elites as single authors and undisputable controllers of mythological versions of the past. However, the authorship and authority of the dominant national ist elites in designing particular narratives of the communal history is limited. The national past, at least in non- totalitarian societies, is widely negotiated, and its interpretation is always heteroglot . The particular narratives that come out of the dominant elites’ “think-tanks” get into a polyphonic discursive milieu discussing the past. Thus they become addressed to alternative narratives, agree with them, deny them or reinterpret them. The existence of those “other” narratives as well as the others’ authorship constitutes a specific factor in shaping mythopoeic activities of dominant political and intellectual national elites. Then, achieving personal or “national” goals by nationalists usually means doing so at the expense or in relations to the others. If in this confrontation the rivals use historical myths, the evolution of the later will depend on mutual responses. Thus national historical myths are constructed in dialogue, contain voices of the others, and have “other” “authors” from within and from without the nation in addition to “own” dominant national ist elite.
