A new Albanian diaspora in the new world (Koha)

Brussels-based correspondent Augustin Palokaj writes that Kosovar diaspora in Western Europe is now different from what it used to be in the past and that Albanian youths nowadays are more integrated in their respective societies and are more willing to help their homeland. “Kosovo has perhaps the biggest diaspora per capita in Europe and it depends largely on it. The same goes for Albania. This diaspora has strong ties to their countries of origin. Kosovo and Albania are ready for the tourist season which marks the mass arrival of the diaspora for vacations. It is the diaspora that keeps tourism alive in Albania and for several months it also revives the economy in Kosovo. The time has come for these two countries to use the other potentials of this modern diaspora in the modern world … The time has come to use the diaspora as a bridge between the countries they live and work in and our two countries.”
