Kumbaro: Kosovo deserves to be part of UNESCO

 
Albanian Minister of Culture, Mirela Kumbaro, said today at the General Conference of UNESCO in Paris, that Kosovo deserves UNESCO membership. During her speech, Minister Kumbaro said, that culture does not recognize administrative boundaries. "Let us join together to promote peace", she said.

On October 21st, the Executive Board of UNESCO supported the request of Albania and recommended to the General Conference Kosovo's membership.

The 38th Session of the General Conference of UNESCO begun on Tuesday, November 3rd, 2015, in Paris and will last two weeks. Among the many issues to be considered is the recommendation of the Executive Board of UNESCO for Kosovo's accession to this organization. The General Conference has 195 members, of whom 111 have recognized Kosovo, and 84 haven't. The recommendation need a two-thirds majority to pass.

On the eve of the vote in the General Assembly for Kosovo's membership in the agency of the UN, Serbia is developing a broad diplomatic campaign to vote against the country's membership
