From Lezha, on the day of the 578th anniversary of the Covenant of Lezha, where the Union of Albanian Municipalities of the Region gathered, the Mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, called for a new and modern Covenant, that for the integration of all Albanians towards the European Union.
The meeting was hosted by the Mayor of Lezha, Pjerin Ndreu, and was attended by the Mayor of Prishtina, Përparim Rama.
“Today we want to call for a New Covenant, for a Covenant of modern times of Albanians, who have their place in Europe, and today are closer than ever to this goal. Therefore, the invitation for each of you is to use this moment while we are doing well, because history seems to change. “One day things are going well and another day what happened in Ukraine is happening.”said Veliaj.
Speaking about the difficult situation that Ukraine, which has been occupied by Russian troops for 6 days, is going through, Veliaj invited all participating municipalities to join the Municipality of Tirana in humanitarian aid towards Kiev. “I would like this platform to be an aid – as we started in Tirana and several other cities – to bring aid to Ukraine, to show solidarity, when today we have good things, when today we have two Albanian states and we have a much greater recognition of the rights of Albanians in the Republic of Northern Macedonia “, was Veliaj’s call.
Today, he said, the sun shines for Albanians everywhere in the Balkans and to make sure that this sun continues to shine, it is good to love, help and cooperate with each other.
“Today I was reading a reflection of President Zelensky, who said: ‘War, with all its extraordinary challenges and great suffering, has taught us to love one another, to teach us to bridge differences, to help one another, and strangely enough human nature. I am cooked that only when he is bad he remembers to love the other ‘. I believe that the greatness of a nation is not if it cooperates on bad days, but when it cooperates even on good days. We do not hinder each other, on the contrary we empower each other. We do not divide society, on the contrary we unite society. Hundreds of years have passed since the time of Skanderbeg and we do not only need union for trouble, we also need union for work, we also need union to advance other projects, we need a union that is beyond the logos of our parties, we need a union that is beyond the coats of arms of our communes and municipalities,He emphasized.
The meeting was attended by the mayors of the Union of Albanian Municipalities and Communes in the Region, initiated by the Mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, which aims at regular exchanges at the level of experts, experience and projects between the municipalities of this network, as well as the development regular joint cultural and artistic programs with a unified calendar.
