With the opening of the new office, better conditions for the work of the National Council on promotion and advancement of the national identity of the Albanian community, which is the largest one in South Serbia, were provided. The office will enable members to the National Council to develop institutional services in a professional and competent manner and to implement the Strategic Plan for the 2012-1216 period. Improving the position of Albanian national minority in the field of information, culture, language and national symbols, education, science, youth and sports, are top-priority activities of the Albanian National Council.
“The National Council has a key role in the fields of culture, education, information and official use of the language and alphabet. In Serbia, a country that is a mosaic of cultural, religious and ethnic diversity, the Council plays an important role in supporting the republican authorities to properly care for all its citizens. Also, the Council has an important role in fostering cooperation with other minority communities, as well as with the majority community, "said Marko Vujacic, Deputy Manager of the EU's PROGRESS.
On this occasion, President of the Albanian National Council, Galip Beqiri, thanked the European Union and the Government of Switzerland for the donation of furniture and office equipment, which will improve the quality of the Council’s work.
