Message from the President

Mother Teresa Boulevard

The Business Network of the Albanian Diaspora is an achievement to be proud of. I am honored to be the chairman of the board of this valuable organization, which has already succeeded in bringing together the most successful businesspeople in the diaspora and which has a bright future ahead of it. “Mergata Albanian” is an important community of successful businesspeople, athletes, artists, actors, doctors, and others. There is a tremendous amount of professional expertise and knowledge that this network can attract!

I have seen first-hand the importance of Albanian companies working together. In Texas, we have supported each other for investments and coordination of large shipments and joint orders. These types of synergies can only be beneficial to everyone.

When Dr. Naim Dedushaj Ideator/Founder in 2014 in Dallas, Texas presented me his idea to bring together the companies of the Albanian diaspora worldwide, taking advantage of synergies and encouraging investments in Albanian countries, I understood this great initiative and was immediately ready to join. This is something that the Albanian Mergata has been missing over the years - a format that would unite us all. This was in fact the first time for me to meet colleagues (whom I had only heard about), when the meeting was organized with the Business Network of the Albanian Diaspora and the networks established in different countries of the world in 2014 in Pristina where we elected the Board of Directors and the President.

Albaner har flyttat över hela världen från Amerika hela vägen till Australien. Turkiet välkomnar vår äldsta och största diaspora. Med affärsnätverk som nu är verksamma i 25 olika länder (och många fler) är det en stor framgång. Albanian Diaspora Business Network samlar alla dessa nätverk på statlig nivå och erbjuder dem ett fungerande forum för diskussion, samarbete och konkreta åtgärder. Nätverkets aktiviteter kommer att främja investeringar i albanska länder och tillsammans kan vi övervinna administrativa hinder och stödja varandra i att behålla risken för stora investeringar. Vi kan ta med oss ​​våra värdefulla kunskaper och erfarenheter för att hjälpa till att utveckla de länder där albaner bor idag.

The President of the ALBANIAN DIASPORA GLOBAL BUSINESS NETWORK, Mr. NAZAR MEHMETI, thanks and is eternally grateful to Congressman Eliot Engel.

Mr. Nazar Mehmeti stressed that Congressman Engel made a very valuable contribution to Kosovo's freedom and independence during several decades of its struggle against oppression. His persistent support for Kosovo in the U.S. Congress through the sponsorship of many resolutions and public hearings paved the way for Kosovo's freedom in 1999, when the democratic world, led by the United States of America, came to the aid of the people of Kosovo's freedom.

Congressman Engel was and continues to be among those American politicians who believe that the United States should remain at the forefront of protecting freedom, democracy and human rights in the world.

"I have always had a special place in my heart for the Balkans, especially for Kosovo", Mr. Engel, in his farewell speech to the US Congress.

"In 1999, I strongly supported the intervention of President Clinton's administration in the Balkans, which we now know prevented a real genocide. Since then, I have continued to champion the sovereignty and independence of Kosovo. That country has taken extraordinary steps forward and now Kosovo is recognized by the United States, England, France, Germany, Japan and many other important nations," Engel said in his farewell speech.

Acting Prime Minister Kurti spoke to the representatives of the Global Business Network of the Albanian Diaspora.

Pristina, May 24, 2020 - The Acting Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo, Mr. Albin Kurti, together with the Deputy Minister at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, Mrs. Liza Gashi and his Chief of Staff, Mr. Luan Dalipi, today held a virtual call with representatives of the Global Business Network of the Albanian Diaspora from the United States, Canada, Europe and Australia.

Acting Prime Minister, Mr. Albin Kurti first thanked them for their commitment to Kosovo and stressed that the government he leads promotes a two-way, transparent and comprehensive communication with the diaspora.

Within the framework of this meeting, the role of the government in facilitating foreign direct investment was discussed, as well as the plan for the establishment of the National Council for Foreign and Strategic Investment to be set up within the Prime Minister's Office.

Acting Prime Minister Kurti also informed the participants of this virtual meeting that this week, together with the German government, the call to join the Training and Innovation Park (ITP) in Prizren has been launched. The ITP in Prizren will serve as a focal point in the Western Balkans region for innovation, entrepreneurship and business development.

The Prime Minister emphasized that "while we are still working with full attention in the management of the COVID-19 pandemic, together with the Ministry of Health and in cooperation with the Public Health Institute, we have started to ease measures in accordance with the epidemiological situation. We wish that we will soon open Kosovo's borders to our compatriots."

Mr. Nazar Mehmeti, President of the Business Network of the Albanian Diaspora

Dear Dr. Dedushaj and Mr. Mehmeti, I would like to convey my compliments to you for establishing the Business Network for the Albanian Diaspora and for giving it a breathing space as you gave it last year. You have my respect and continued support for this initiative as Dr. Dedushaj had first proposed it to me a few years ago.

It was a great pleasure for me to be in Pristina last year, when this network was founded, bringing together all the diaspora business networks from different countries. You two you know that I have done my best to help you move forward with the original idea and this is an absolutely incredible step to have these functional networks in the US, Canada, Europe, Australia and Turkey!

With a structure at the central level, the Albanian diaspora business networks are naturally important in bringing everyone together to benefit from the synergies of these state-level diaspora business networks around the world.

I want to applaud the great progress made over the past year and encourage you both to continue this important work. Thousands have already joined this cooperation network and I am sure that many thousands more will do so in the future. This is the way forward to ensure foreign investment and sustainable development in Kosovo, Albania and across South-East Europe.

You can be sure that I will continue to offer my strong support, as well as the support of the Canadian NATO Association, as well as the Canada-Albania Business Council. The initiative you created and realized is an excellent example of the potential for prosperity and stability in the Balkans - the exact goal of the Canadian NATO Association and the Canada-Albania Business Council.

Sincerely,
Robert Baines
