đŸ‡ŠđŸ‡± Sot, kujtojmĂ« shenjtĂ«rimin e NĂ«nĂ« TerezĂ«s, njĂ« grua qĂ« ia kushtoi jetĂ«n e saj mĂ« tĂ« varfĂ«rve, tĂ« sĂ«murĂ«ve dhe tĂ« harruarve, duke i kujtuar botĂ«s se madhĂ«shtia gjendet te shĂ«rbimi, jo te statusi. Siç ka thĂ«nĂ« Presidenti Trump, ajo “pĂ«rfaqĂ«son mĂ« tĂ« mirĂ«n tek tĂ« gjithĂ« ne”.

đŸ‡ș🇾 Today, we remember the canonization of Mother Teresa, a woman who spent her life beside the poorest, the sick, and the forgotten, reminding the world that greatness is found in service, not status. As President Trump has said, she "represents the best in all of us."

Today, we join our American friends, colleagues, alumni, and partners in celebrating the 250th Independence Day of the United States of America!

July 4th is a powerful reminder of the enduring values of liberty, democracy, and self-determination—values that form the bedrock of the unique, historic bond between Albania and the United States.
Our shared history is deeply rooted.

More than a century ago, at the 1919 Paris Peace Conference, it was U.S. President Woodrow Wilson who firmly championed the territorial integrity and sovereignty of a young Albanian state, ensuring its place on the world map. Decades later, through the isolation of the Cold War and into the dawn of a free, democratic Albania post-1991, that spirit of friendship never faded. Today, our two nations stand stronger than ever as trusted strategic allies and NATO partners.

At American Councils Albania, we are incredibly proud to nurture this historic legacy. Through international education, cultural exchange, and professional development, we witness daily how our youth and alumni serve as the living bridges keeping this century-old partnership vibrant and forward-looking.
To our incredible community, our resilient alumni, and our partners: Thank you for your commitment to our shared vision.
Wishing everyone a safe, joyful, and historic 4th of July!

This Mother’s Day, we celebrate the love of mothers that endures across time and distance.

Our very own YES alumna Desara Gjini ‘19 draws on the universal bond between mothers and children in her songwriting. That inspiration led her to write “Nñn,” Albania’s official Eurovision entry, performed by singer Alis. The ballad is a powerful tribute to mothers, memories, and the bond that never fades.

As the Eurovision Song Contest semi-finals begin this week, we’re cheering Desara on and wishing Albania the very best on the international stage!
