The process of preparing the proposal for extending the World Heritage property 'Natural and Cultural Heritage of the Ohrid region' to the Albanian side of the lake, started in 2011, when Albania expressed its interest through Ministry of Environment to include this part of the Lake in UNESCO World Heritage List. Two-thirds of the lake Ohrid Region on the Macedonian side is listed in UNESCO since 1979-80 as a mixed World Heritage property, with cultural and natural outstanding values. The integrity of this World Heritage property would, however, be significantly reinforced by extending it to the remaining one-third of Lake Ohrid located in Albania. The transboundary project 'Towards strengthened governance of the shared transboundary natural and cultural heritage of the Lake Ohrid region' start- ed in 2015. The European Union funded and Albanian co-financed project is implemented by UNESCO in cooperation with the Albanian Ministries of Environment and Culture to assist the Albanian Government in achieving this objective. The project aims to address all the important factors that impact the Lake Ohrid region in order to identify and preserve the main natural and cultural elements of Lake Ohrid region and to improve the cooperation for joint management of this area. Two of the project's main components are: - Preparing the supplement to the management plan for the protected area, Cultural components of the with a special focus on the proposed zone, which will be included in the natural and cultural World Heritage property 'Natural and Cultural Heritage Lake Ohrid region Nomination Dossier of the Ohrid region'; The Albanian Ministry of Culture has contributed to the preparation of - Preparing the Nomination Dossier to include this area on the UNESCO Nomination Dossier, identifying the cultural values of Lake Ohrid region on World Heritage list as a mixed property, extending the boundaries of the the Albanian side of the lake.

  • 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.
