#GenZ #KitchenFestival | Gen Z in the Western Balkans believes in democracy, but no longer grants trust by default.

On March 4 in Brussels, we bring together young voices from the #WesternBalkans with policymakers, researchers, and 🇪🇺 EU leaders for the 🎛️ Gen Z Kitchen Festival.

What happens when hope meets conditional consent? 🤔
What does Gen Z expect in return?🧐

Join us at #LaBellone for a day of conversation, exchange, and reflection.

[Andi Dobrushi @ADobrushi]

Civil society in the #WesternBalkans is already helping co-design our shared European future. At @OpenSocietyWB, we support a broad range of actors who bring both grassroots legitimacy and policy insights, from labour market reforms to climate transition.

We were pleased to participate in the @EU_EESC 10th Western Balkan Civil Society Forum in #Budva and contribute to discussions on accelerating socio-economic convergence with the European Union, a process that is not only technical but fundamentally civic and democratic.

Together with 🇪🇺EU Ambassador in 🇦🇱 @SilvioGonzato we visited the Institute of Children with Hearing Impairment where the #EU4InclusiveTeaching project, implemented by @OSFAlbania, has made a tangible difference in inclusive education and in the lives of the students.

Arsenali ushtarak i Shqipërisë para viteve 1990 buronte kryesisht nga dy periudha të ndryshme të marrëdhënieve ndërkombëtare, të cilat përcaktuan burimet e importeve të armëve dhe të teknologjisë ushtarake:

•Periudha Sovjetike (1945-1961)
•Periudha Kineze (1961-1978)

Shqipëria kishte një arsenal të madh ushtarak, duke u bërë një nga vendet me sasinë më të lartë të armëve për frymë në botë.

Ne zonat urbane shpejtesia e lejuar eshte ⛔️30kmh, nese drejtuesi i mjetit nuk e ka te qarte kete nuk e meriton lejen e drejtimit. Pervec testit te idiotit qe duhet ta kaloje me patjeter, i duhet kufizuar lloji i perdorimit te mjetit qarkullues midis bicikletes dhe karroces me guzhinjeta. Smund te kihet ne drejtim mjeti kjo kategori e cmendur, fatketqesisht pjese e cdo shoqerie.

#Democracies cannot thrive without a strong civil society. I had a terrific conversation with @ADobrushi about the role of civil society in the #WesternBalkans, their contributions to 🇪🇺 enlargement, regional economic cooperation, and, most importantly, how to pave the way for a better future for the region's citizens 🇦🇱🇷🇸🇽🇰🇲🇰🇲🇪🇧🇦
