Debate: Everything you wanted to know about Albania
Louis Hartlooper Complex, Das Kabinett

Entry Free, max capacity 45 persons

Organizers: Idlir Peçi/Stichting FAN
Moderator: Friso Wiersum
Participants:

  • HE Roland Bimo (Ambassador of Albania in the Netherlands)
  • Albana Shala (Press Now)
  • Idlir Peçi (Utrecht University)

Description: The debate will be organized along three main lines. It will firstly touch the communist era in Albania and especially the great isolation that the country went through in this period. In order to illustrate the debate sequences from the movie “Divorce Albanian Style” will be shown. This will give the participants and the public a concrete example of the cruel consequences of the isolation. Secondly, the debate will touch human rights issues during communism and the Albania of now. Thirdly, the opening of Albania after the fall of communism will also be discussed. In this context special attention will be paid to the role of the media in the opening process of Albania. It goes without saying that the public will have the opportunity to ask questions about Albania, hence everything you wanted to know about Albania.
