“Albania, open for investments”

From October 6th to 9th 2006 in the International Centre of Culture “Pjeter Arbnori” was inaugurated the fair called “Albania, open for investments” with the support of the prime minister of Albania

The participation of various prefectures and municipalities of Albania, and also of many companies working in different fields, showed a wide variety of interests in the field of investments, some of which involved urban planning, environmental projects, tourism development, construction projects, etc.
The opening speech was delivered by the Minister of Economy, Mr. Genc Ruli, accompanied by other members of the government.

One of these projects was the promotion of the Tumulus of Kamenica from the archaeological, architectural, and historical point of view. This was part of the Prefecture of Korça pavilion. The Regional Government and the Municipality of Mollaj took responsability of the site, identifying it as an important component for the sustainable development of the local community.

These institutions, together with scholars and administrators of the cultural heritage, have a common goal: to conserve and present the Kamenica Tumulus following modern standards. The aim is to make the tumulus a visitable site with a proper museum, which with its unique profile will inform visitors on the spectacular components of the tumuli culture of prehistoric Albania.

The project was assisted by the mayor of the Municipality of Mollaj, Mr. Fredi Xhemo, members of the Prefecture of Korça, the Director of the Museum of Archaeology in Korça, Prof.Dr. Skënder Aliu, the directors of the ARAU, Dr. Lorenc Bejko, Maria Grazia Amore and ARAU personnel (Valbona Hysa, Klodiana Kondo, and Genti Perzhita).
