Full speech of Prime Minister Kurti:

I have the special pleasure to be among you for this historic date, more precisely in the establishment of the first Rotary district that is formed by the union of our two countries, namely the Rotary Club from Kosovo and Albania.

This union in one district is a great achievement that speaks volumes about the tireless work and unstoppable journey of all of you.

So, an extraordinary commitment has been made by Rotary clubs in Kosovo and Albania, and today this work is being crowned by rising to the highest level.

So this district is becoming an equal member of the world's largest Rotary family.

We are very hopeful that this district will serve as an even greater opportunity to increase the intensity and effectiveness of your mission, which is service and assistance to the community through the promotion of peace, the fight against disease, the provision of clean water, care for the environment, support for education and those in need, as well as assistance in the development of local economies.

It is our pride that all these noble objectives of the Rotarians our people have ingrained in our generous culture and tradition.

Historically we are known as a people who have always come to the aid of those who have been most in need.

For the nobility and generosity of our people in the Second World War, today countries like Israel consider the Albanian people as "Righteous among nations".

Then we find service to others in Our Holy Mother Teresa, who has dedicated her life to serving others - and the whole world respects and honors this daughter of our people.

And, I am convinced that as we are proud of her, she is certainly proud of your service to the community, a work that is now being institutionalized at the highest international level.

All religions of Albanians, Muslim and Christian and Orthodox, cooperate precisely while working for the people.

Therefore, whoever wants to work and unite with the Albanians has found the place.

Coexistence,

While Rotarians are working every day to serve the community, we as a Government through our policies are aiming for the same objectives, where through various measures we are helping those who need it most.

During our one-year rule, we have not kept the economic growth for the state.

We have helped retirees by doubling pensions for three months, and permanently increasing the basic pension by 11%.

We have doubled the social schemes for two months, and we have a permanent increase of 30% (for almost thirty thousand families).

We have allocated 2 million euros for food packages for families in need, where 70% of those products have been local products, and we have allocated funds for a dozen popular kitchens where thousands of poor citizens have been fed.

We are doing the same thing in developing the economy and education, in linking the economy to vocational education and both with quality democracy, and we are taking care to promote peace in order to increase security in the region.

For this reason, in my first meeting in Brussels, I proposed to the Serbian side a Declaration of Peace, for non-aggression, which unfortunately was rejected by Serbia without being read.

Finally, I must say that like you, we as politicians are at the service of others.

Because even the word minister in its etymology from Latin means - servant, means servant.

The prime minister is the first among the servants.

The work of Rotarians is a valuable asset to society and certainly a fulfillment of the human mission, which is to improve the well-being of all citizens, regardless of religion, gender, age, ethnicity, or background.

Thank you once again, congratulations on founding the district, and I wish you good work in serving the community.
