We will look back on the programme’s main developments of the past few years. Presently, 19 DAAD-sponsored networks are boosting academic teaching at Southeast European higher education institutions in a wide range of relevant subject areas. The programme started off with collaborative schemes in the engineering and natural sciences in 1999. But over the last two years, projects have also been established in the field of cultural studies and law that directly address and discuss the conflicts of the nineties from an academic angle. For example, a cultural studies network focusing on cultures of remembering and identity concepts in South Eastern Europe is breaking new academic ground. In 2012, a project was launched on International and European Law. There will be a considerable demand for cooperation in these subject areas in future, too, also against the background of preparing the Southeast European countries for EU accession. At the start of the programme, in terms of contents, individual emergency and development activities addressing individual issues as well as initial joint workshops on neutral ground were at the forefront. Today, more than 140 higher education partners are cooperating intensively in joint summer schools, specialised courses, study programme modules and Master’s programmes as well as, lately, in postgraduate schools. For instance, a network for civil engineers links up small, specialised departments with only a few doctoral students in a cross-country scheme, creating a regional college with an attractive range of subjects that supervises its doctoral students on a common basis. This requires cooperation at institution management level, too. Here, the 9 aim is to further develop such existing positive examples in order to make use of them as models for other departments as well. The central challenge is to cooperate at a cross-border level while taking into account the still existing political controversies, differing academic structures and brain drain tendencies. In addition to international understanding, the establishment of regional competence centres also aims at enhancing the strengths of developing locations and setting up departments in the structurally weaker countries of the region. In addition, the creation of prospects not only for junior scientists and scholars “from” the region, but also “in” the region itself, e.g. at these competence centres, is being addressed. Good progress has already been made in the field of studying, and what counts now is to enable the graduates to embark on an academic career. To this end, the network partners are jointly upgrading Master’s and doctoral student courses, e.g. in the subject area of chemistry, and providing special support for junior scientists in this area via Germany, Third Country and Sur Place Grants. In order to create prospects at local level, the sponsoring of research potentials in the MA, PhD and post-doc field is also becoming more and more relevant. With this regional Conference, DAAD intends to offer all participants an opportunity for an intensive exchange of views, experiences and expectations for future collaboration and thus to jointly form a strategic orientation for the coming years. 10 Programme DAAD Regional Conference Academic Cooperation in South Eastern Europe: Dynamics and Aims in the Light of Scientific and Political Changes Friday, 5 October 2012 University of Tirana – Faculty of Law, Godina Liria until 03.00 pm Arrival and check-in 03.45 and 04.00 pm Bus Transfer to University 04.00 – 05.00 pm Registration 05.00 pm Musical Prelude Genti Rushi (piano and accordion) Ermal Rodi (saxophone and trumpet) 05.10 pm Welcome Addresses Professor Dr Dhori Kule Rector of the University of Tirana Ulrich Grothus Deputy Secretary General, DAAD Carola Müller -Holtkemper German Ambassador to the Republic of Albania Uta Zapf, MdB Member of the German Bundestag Professor Dr Myqerem Tafaj Minister of Education and Science, Albania 06.00 pm Music 06.15 pm Individual Experience of Scholarship Holders on Networks and Careers Merima Šahinagi ć-Isovi ć / Sergey Churilov Fellows of the Regional Graduate Centre for Civil Engineering / Skopje Mihal Brumbulli / Gordana Rakic Students of the „Joint Master Programme Software Engineering“ Makedonka Dimitrova / Sidita Dibra Participants of the Network „Entrepreneurship and Innovation“ 06.45 pm Viewing the Poster Presentation Young scientists introduce their cooperation projects 07.15 pm Bus Departure to Hotel Rogner 07.30 pm Reception and Dinner at Hotel Rogner 11 Saturday, 6 October 2012 University of Tirana – Faculty of Law, Godina Liria 09.00 – 10.00 am Universities in Southeast Eu rope between national needs and European competition – a longue durée perspective on actual challenges Professor Dr Oliver Jens Schmitt Institute for Eastern European History, University of Vienna, Austria 10.00 – 10.30 am Discussion 10.30 – 11.00 am Coffee / Tea Break 11.00 – 11.30 am Academic Cooperation between Stability Pact for South Eastern Europe and the Process of Convergence with the European Union Thomas Zettler / Dr Anne Rörig DAAD 10.30 am – 12.15 pm Best practice example: Network Catalysers for South Eastern Europe Professor Dr Evamarie Hey -Hawkins with her network team The Project Coordinator and her team present their projects in the field of Chemistry and Material Sciences with project partners from Macedonia, Romania, Kosovo and Serbia 12.15 – 01.30 pm Lunchtime Snack 01.30 – 03.30 pm 5 Workshops in parallel Workshop 1 Building confidence and transforming conflict through the prism of science: What will be the future challenges of legal, sociological and cultural science in the field of teaching and research?

  • Development of Environmental Code of Conduct in Dajti National Park
    DEVELOPMENT OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL CODE OF CONDUCT IN DAJTI NATIONAL PARK Sindi Lilo1, Raimonda Totoni2 1Department of Environmental Engineering, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Polytechnic University of Tirana, ALBANIA, e-mail: [email protected] 2Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Mathematical Engineering and Physical Engineering, Polytechnic University of Tirana, ALBANIA, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Dajti National Park is one of the main Natural National Parks in Albania. This Protected Area is situated in the East of Tirana and covers an area of 29217 ha. Dajti National Park is very important on local, national and regional level, for its biodiversity, landscape, recreational and cultural values. Among others it is considered as a live museum of the natural vertical structure of vegetation. The heritage, traditions on ethnography, music, cooking, hospitality etc, unique on Central Albania region, are some other local cultural values that from centuries runs in compliance with natural richness. Unfortunately, for more than 20 years, because of the demographic changes and human stresses caused by it, the National Park values are threatened and reduced by uncontrolled human activity. Forest fires, erosion, inappropriate solid waste disposal, etc. can be counted between main negative impacts caused by human intervention in the area. Unplanned tourism and missing of an appropriate and integrated management is threatening the remained values of this important site. In this condition developing and adopting of Environmental Code of Conduct in Dajti Park is necessary and would contribute in development of ecotourism as an important tool for conservation of natural and cultural resource and for sustainable development. This Code consists on definition of the framework for protection of natural and human values instead of their overexploitation for short term purposes.

The Development of the Concept of “Public Space” in Tirana Eduina Zekaj Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning, Polytechnic University of Tirana, Albania Abstract. The term “public space”, also known as urban space is a pretty old phrase, but was used as e concept with a clear definition during the modern era. The evolution of this term is well known in Tirana, because of its constant development especially in the recent projects. The first attempts started in 1914, but by that time there did not exist a real concept of the public space, which accordingly was affected by the citizens’ lifestyle. Public spaces in Tirana have changed a lot since then by recreating the concept of “public use”. There are many examples of squares, streets and parks which have gone through the process of change over the years and have affected people’s lives.

This year we have marked 10 years of work, passion, desire and fatigue, to overcome yesterday, towards a different tomorrow from today. All the challenges that we encounter are the starting point for change and progress. 2013 was a difficult year. Regarding the Albanian economy, I would characterize it as the most difficult year, where structural changes left consequences in the economy. But it was overcome, with a great responsibility, desire and commitment to the common good. We are now ranked among the top banks of the Albanian banking market. We have maximized everything in our whole organization. We increased sales, analysis and control. We have reformed the structure according to a market that experienced weakness and oscillation, but also endurance. We have focused on existing customers supporting their business, but also on the new ones. We have learned from the appalling economic factors and focused on such sectors where need and demand for products provides lifespan, expanding lending and comprehensive support. Our financial results during 2013 are indicative of a sustainable and healthy development where is worth mentioning: In terms of performance of the entire banking system of the country, our deposit growth exceeded overall market growth with 3.42% and our growth in total loans exceeded the market which fell by 1.84%.

This research tries to synthesize the urban development of Tirana, especially in the historical part of it, at different times. The evolution of the city of Tirana is a typical evolution for Albanian cities with an urban structure, which was born in the Ottoman period. The chaotic urban structure shaped spontaneously in recent centuries , in Bosios plan during 1940, was thought to be treated as a "garden city", well integrated with the new form of the city, preserving at the same time his physiognomy.

Our financial results for 2012 show both the progress we have made and the challenges that remain. In 2012, the Bank revenues, net of interest expense rose to Lek 4,7 billion or increased by 16% comparing to 2011. The net profit of Lek 669 million showed a decline comparing to 2011 but that was a reflection of increased reserve for loans loss. Obviously, our net profit does not yet reflect the work we are doing to strengthen capital, reduce risk and attract more business from our customers. There are many issues weighing not only on us, but on the entire financial services sector. These include concerns about the global economy, the implementation of new regulations and capital requirements, how these new rules may affect our ability to deliver for our customers and clients, and the time it will take to resolve collateral issues. There is more work to do, but today we are better organized to serve our customers and clients, to offer customers more reasons to do more business with us, to earn the Artan SAntO, CEO profits our shareholders expect, and to contribute to economic growth in all of the communities we serve.
