20 Dec Hungarissima, the grand finale of a week between notes, art and chess from the Danube to Tirana
Successful participation in all the events, most of which hosted in the suggestive Bazal bistro gallery bar in the Albanian capital, events that reaffirmed the historicity, topicality and strong perspective of the centenary link between the Land of the Eagles and the land of the Magyars in all areas from visual and literary culture to technological sciences, from music to food and wine tourism passing through the stage and the chessboard.
The Hungarian week in Albania was fully included in the programming of the international weeks of culture underway in Tirana and in the other most representative cities of the Adriatic and Balkan country – in this case Fier and Korca – organized by the Ministry of culture, of the city of Tirana, of the competent Embassy, of the binational friendship association and of prestigious sponsors such as the credit institution OTP Bank which took over the branches and the retail and corporate commercial network of the former General Company, and the unified telephone company between One and Albtelecom.
Among the protagonists of the various events held, the piano wizard Almira Emili, a musician of European prestige, the photographer and scholar of innovative art Marco Veronese – living in Budapest and of Piedmontese and Biellese origins – the Hungarian Consul in Albania Antal Kulcsar and the diplomat Mira Hoxha, ambassador emeritus of Albania in Budapest and contact person for the Country of Eagles of the Wusme association, world union of small and medium Enterprises.

Hungary is characterized by virtuous relations with Tirana and with the other countries of the western Balkan macro-region, both by virtue of its geographical proximity, and by historical and literary ties that never failed even in the difficult years of pro-Soviet totalitarianisms, and finally by the extraordinary potential in the areas of tourism cooperation and the continuity of supplies of agricultural and energy raw materials.
