Albanian school books for Preshevo Valley



Albanian school books for Presheva
The Albanians at the Lugina e Presheves (Presheva Valley), Southern Serbia, demand more intensive support from Tirana, regarding some education related problems with the Serbian state, and also for culture and free movement.

One of these problems, that of the Albanian ABC books, will be resolved through an agreement between Albania and Serbia, which was also confirmed by the Foreign Minsiter, Edmond Haxhinasto, during a meeting with the only Albanian MP at the Serbian Parliament, Riza Halimi, also Chairman of the Albanian National Council of Presheva, Galip Beqiri.

“We have expressed our readiness for a greater commitment with the Albanian school text books. Together with the homologues of the respective institutions in Serbia, we will reach an agreement for the school texts that we will send”, declared the Foreign Minister, Edmond Haxhinasto.

“We talked about sensitive problems of the Albanians in Presheva, the solution of which demands a bigger help from the Albanian government. I am optimist that we will resolve these problems, although we ask an extraordinary commitment, especially in these days when we have problems with the free movement of our people”, declared Riza Halimi, the Albanian MP at the Serbian Parliament and representative of the Presheva Albanians.

During this meeting, the Albanian Foreign Minister also discussed with the Presheva representatives the activities of the Albanians in this area of Serbia for the 100th anniversary of independence.
