The view expressed in this document are those of Slow Food and do not Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations. FRAMEWORK 5 OF THE PUBLICATION he Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) technical assistance in Albania aims to preserve the biodiversity, enhancing sustainable productivity in the food and agriculture sector through multi-stakeholder partnerships from farm to fork. A key focus is to support the use of the rich Tdiversity of the Albanian traditional cuisine and the unique gastronomic experience to facilitate market development and integration. FAO accelerated its support to strengthen institutional capacities, enhancing national agriculture and rural development policy framework in order to facilitate XLIGSYRXVMIWIǺSVXWXS[EVHWMXWLEVQSRM^EXMSR[MXLXLIEGUYMWGSQQYREYXEMVISJ the European Union. Establishing a sound legislation to regulate and protect Geographical Indication is among key aspects for meeting the EU acquis and enacting an enabling framework that safeguards Albania’s agricultural and gastronomic heritage, and leverages its potential to support sustainability of rural livelihoods on the producer side while improving and diversifying diet choices for consumers delivered across the country and beyond.

I believe that this unique collection will contribute to the Albanian Gastronomic Renaissance and the country’s commitment to the Sustainable Development Agenda. It will particularly to facilitate eradicating poverty (SDG1), ensuring food security and nutrition (SDG2) and promoting sustainable consumption (SDG12). This unique examples are prepared and released as part of FAO’s work within the framework of the Regional Initiative on improving agrifood trade and market integration in Europe and Central Asia. Raimund Jehle FAO Representative for Albania Regional Programme Leader for Europe and Central Asia ADG_ALBANIA_interiores.indd 5 10/6/20 9:06 AM iodiversity is the greatest promise for the future of humankind. Without it, the foundation for human life on the planet is lost, as is the 6 very soil on which civilizations and cultures have been shaped and Bformed as the result of human adaptation to the natural environment. Defending, protecting, and promoting biodiversity is therefore not simply one among a number of choices, advanced by the intellectuals of conservation or by nostalgic environmentalists: It is, rather, the only viable path forward. It is a ALBANIA moral duty that we, the generation that inhabits this historic moment, must take on for those who will come after us and live on this planet Earth, a planet that, | today, we are trampling, hurting, and mistreating. From this point of view, the Ark of Taste, a global project that this book takes up in its Albanian context, is an initiative that seeks to create information, knowledge, and awareness about this TASTE unique heritage. Through the Ark, communities are invited to rediscover their OF agricultural and food heritage, in order not to lose the connection with the land that feeds us and will continue to feed us. ARK Talking about food biodiversity and its protection is of crucial importance in the Balkan area, especially when it comes to Albania.

Defending biodiversity takes us toward a more sustainable future, and a sustainable future for Albania as a whole represents a hope for the future of the entire planet. This publication is intended as a tool to promote Albania’s biodiversity and make it known to the wider public. We are at the beginning of a long and fascinating journey of discovery. Great things lie ahead.

Since its founding, Slow Food ALBANIA has grown into a global movement involving millions of people in over | S160 countries, working to ensure that everyone has access to good, clean and fair food. Slow Food is the umbrella organization responsible for guiding and steering the action of the entire movement, which is composed of over 1,500 TASTE local chapters and 2,400 food communities, and reaches millions of people every year. OF Slow Food promotes food that is good, clean and fair for all: good because it is healthy in addition to tasting good; clean because it is produced with low ARK environmental impact and with animal welfare in mind; and fair because it respects the work of those who produce, process, and distribute it. Slow Food works to defend biodiversity and to promote a sustainable and environmentally friendly food production and consumption system; to spread sensory education and responsible consumption; and to connect producers of quality foods with co-producers (conscious consumers) through events and initiatives. Slow Food is committed to protecting traditional, sustainable, quality foods, defending the biodiversity of cultivated and wild varieties as well as methods of cultivation and production. These are all threatened by the prevalence of processed food, industrial agribusiness, and the rules of the global market. The Slow Food Foundation

  • Failures and Achievements of Albanian Nationalism in the Era of Nationalism
    FAILURES AND ACHIEVEMENTS OF ALBANIAN NATIONALISM IN THE ERA OF NATIONALISM Nuray BOZBORA ABSTRACT The development of Albanian nationalism was not uniform from the beginning and it followed distinct patterns. First there were local protest movements, some were culturally based while others were created by the local elite to protest against local and specific problems. Later these different patterns in Albanian nationalism turned into mass uprising during the 1910 and 1911s. The aim of this paper is to understand the crucial period of mass uprising of Albanians and to analyse how these different patterns in the movement had participated and expressed themselves, what the basic motivation of uniting around a common purpose was, and ease and difficulties in this regard. Keywords: Nationalism, Nation, National Identity, Albanian Nationalism, Balkan Nationalism MİLLİYETÇİLİK DÖNEMİNDE ARNAVUT MİLLİYETÇİLİĞİNİN YETERSİZLİĞİ VE BAŞARILARI ÖZET Arnavut milliyetçiliği başlangıcından itibaren tek tip bir hareket olarak gelişmemiş kendi içinde farklılıklar göstermiştir. Hareket içindeki bu farklı gelişme biçimleri önce yerel protestolar, kültürel temelli hareketler ve belirli sorunlara karşı yerel seçkinlerin protesto harekeleri olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Daha sonra Arnavut milliyetçiliği içindeki bu farklı gelişme biçimleri, 1910 ve 1911 yıllarında kitlesel bir ayaklanmaya dönüşmüştür. Çalışmanın amacı, kitlesel Arnavut ayaklanmasının ortaya çıktığı bu önemli dönemi, hareket içindeki farklılıkların kendilerini nasıl konumlandırdığı, nasıl ifade ettiği

    POLITIČKA UPOTREBA TRADICIJE CRNOJEVIĆA U XVIII I XIX VIJEKU Živko M. Andrijašević Nacionalni i državotvorni pokreti balkanskih naroda, tokom XVIII i XIX vijeka, često su u srednjovjekovnoj državnoj tradi - ciji tražili ideološka uporišta za svoje političke ciljeve ili izvorišta svog političkog legitimiteta. Činjeno je to zbog toga što je svaka politička ideja XVIII i XIX vijeka, za koju se mogla pronaći istorijska osnova u srednjovjekovnoj državnoj tradiciji, doživljavana utemeljenom i opravdanom, dok je njeno prih - vatanje i slijeđenje, dobijalo ponekad značenje nacionalne oba - veze. Jedan primjer takvog korišćenja srednjovjekovne državne tradicije, odnosi se na upotrebu tradicije dinastije Crnojević u Crnoj Gori tokom XVIII i XIX vijeka. Dinastija Crnojević vladala je Zetom (Crnom Gorom) u dru - goj polovini XV vijeka. Prvi od tri vladara iz te dinastije, Stefan (Stefanica), došao je na čelo zetske države 1451. godine, a vla - dao je do 1464/65. godine. Naslijedio ga je sin Ivan, koji je vla - dao do 1490. godine. Ivan Crnojević se na početku vladavine su - kobio s Mletačkom Republikom, od koje je bezuspješno po ku - šavao da uzme pośede oko Kotora. Kad je njegovoj državi zapri - jetila opasnost od Osmanskoga carstva, izmirio se s Repu bli - kom. Ipak, Osmansko carstvo primoralo ga je na vazalni po ložaj i plaćanje godišnjega danka (1471). U vrijeme mletačko-osman - www. maticacrnogorska.me MATICA, zima 2010. 563 Živko M. Andrijašević skoga sukoba oko Skadra (1474), prešao je na stranu Mletačke Republike.

Janz is professor of religious studies at Loyola University, New Orleans, · Louisiana. From the time of its inception as a discipline, the scientific study of religion has raised the question of the universality of religion. Are human beings somehow naturally religious? Has there ever been a truly religionless society? Is modernity itself inimical to religion, leading slowly but nevertheless inexorably to its extinction? Or does a fundamental human religiosity survive and mutate into ever new forms, as it adapts itself to the exigencies of the age? There are as of yet no clear answers to these questions. And religiologists continue to search for the irreligious society, or at least for the society in which religion is utterly devoid of any social significance, where the religious sector is a tiny minority made up largely of elderly people and assorted marginal figures.

  • Illyrian-Albanian Continuity on the Areal of Kosova 29 Illyrian-Albanian Continuity on the Areal of Kosova
    Illyrian-Albanian Continuity on the Areal of Kosova 29 Illyrian-Albanian Continuity on the Areal of Kosova Jahja Drançolli* Abstract In the present study it is examined the issue of Illyrian- Albanian continuity in the areal of Kosova, a scientific problem, which, due to the reasons of daily policy, has extremely become exploited (harnessed) until the present days. The politicisation of the ancient history of Kosova begins with the Eastern Crisis, a time when the programmes of Great-Serb aggression for the Balkans started being drafted. These programmes, inspired by the extra-scientific history dressed in myths, legends and folk songs, expressed the Serb aspirations to look for their cradle in Kosova, Vojvodina. Croatia, Dalmatia, Bosnia and Hercegovina and Montenegro. Such programmes, based on the instrumentalized history, have always been strongly supported by the political circles on the occasion of great historical changes, that have overwhelmed the Balkans. Key Words: Dardania and Dardans in antiquity, Arbers and Kosova during the Middle Ages, geopolitical, ethnic, religious and cultural concepts, which are known in the sources of that time followed by a chronological development. The region of Kosova preserves archeological monuments from the beginnings of Neolith (6000-2600 B.C.). Since that time the first settlements were constructed, including Tjerrtorja (Prishtinë), Glladnica (Graçanicë), Rakoshi (Istog), Fafos and Lushta (Mitrovicë), Reshtan and Hisar (Suharekë), Runik (Skenderaj) etc. The region of Kosova has since the Bronze Age been inhabited by Dardan Illyrians; the territory of extension of this region was much larger than the present-day territory of Kosova. * Prof. Jahja Drançolli Ph.

Botuar gjatë gjithë vitit 2020, secili prej tyre përqëndrohet në një festë specifike në një mënyrë të shkurtër e cila do të mundësojë një kuptim më të mirë të tyre, madje edhe për ata që nuk kanë njohuri mbi festat tona pagane shqiptare, por gjithashtu përmbajnë shumë detaje interesante që nxjerrin në pah perspektiva dhe kuptime të reja mbi festat tona pagane. Në të vërtetë, këto prezantime nuk janë prezantime të themeluara tashmë të festave tona antike pagane, por ato janë të mbushura me interpretime që i japin mundësi lexuesit të kuptojë dhe vlersojë ato në nivelet më të larta. Në nivel simbolik, çdo festë duhet të kuptohet si reflektim tokësor i një realiteti më të lartë kozmik. Duke u rrotulluar rreth këtyre festave, paraardhësit tanë ishin në një akordim me ritmin e Natyrës dhe në harmoni me Kozmosin, disiplina hynore e universit. Në nivelin historik, fakti që disa nga këto praktika u vunë re ende në mesin e njerëzve tanë në mes të shekullit XX, dëshmon se ato nuk janë një pjesë e parëndësishme e identitetit tonë. Për më tepër, respektimi i tyre, pavarësisht nga ndarjet e besimeve midis njerëzve tanë, dëshmon identitetin tonë të përbashkët dhe na bën me të vërtetë një popull. Në të vërtetë, nën festat tona antike pagane, ne gjejmë vlera që paraardhësit tanë i respektonin dhe i konsideronin si më të dashurit e tyre.

Comparison between manual and automatic inclinometers. Impact du fonctionnement du barrage hydroélectrique sur la stabilité des pentes. Comparaison entre inclinomètres manuels et automatiques. Ani Xhagolli - Kosho Statkraft/ Albania Thomas Schönborn Statkraft/ Norway ABSTRACT: Inclinometers are widely used for measuring horizontal displacements in ground as well as in structural elements. In particular the observation of natural creeping slopes demands inclinometer measurements of high accuracy. It is therefore essential to assess the reliability of inclinometer measurements in a systematic way. This contribution deals with the examination and determination of accuracy and precision concerning inclinometer measurements. This paper presents one case for understanding and interpreting slope inclinometers, manual and automatic. Inclinometer measurements will be discussed based on the actual impact of a hydropower reservoir on an old and still active landslide. The case is an approx 0.5 km2 large slope in the Albanian mountain range. The slope has a history of slow creeping, requiring re-building of houses every decade.
