Dear guests and friends of the Seminar,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Welcome, as we gather on this momentous occasion at the University of Prishtina, an emblem of knowledge and progress, to embark on a journey of discovery and intellectual growth about Albanian Language, Literature and Culture that spans from today, August 14th, until the 24th of August. We are deeply grateful of your decision to join us for this 41st edition of our historic Seminar. Your presence and your interest for Albanology is a testament to our shared human spirit, a spirit that knows no borders and sees knowledge as the most universal language; it is a testament to the spirit of intellectual curiosity, cross-cultural understanding, and mutual growth that we so dearly aspire.
Dear participants of the Seminar,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The institution of the Seminar is the strongest world-wide internationalization concept of Albanology. It is the longest and the most valuable presentation of the local science in a joint international medium. At the same time, it helps bring an indispensable and invaluable global academic perspective about Albanology, which not only enriches this iconic Seminar, but also helps expand the frontiers of knowledge about Albanian language, literature and culture.
So, please embrace this journey, create unforgettable memories, and let's together make our Seminar and our region a beacon of knowledge, inclusivity, and progress. Your success here will be our shared success.
As we move forward, the University of Prishtina is committed to expanding the horizons of our global outreach. In the coming years, we will be participating in and offering more exchange and English-based programs and courses to facilitate and foster opportunities for more international students and scholars. And so I hope to see many of you come back again, perhaps on an exchange program, for a semester or two. We will wholeheartedly welcome you and we will be dedicated to your success.
Thank you for believing in us, thank you for being here with us, and enjoy your stay in Prishtina!
