The Forum is organized, coordinated and administered by Cooperation and Development Institute in Tirana with the support of the three German political foundations such as Konrad Adenauer Foundation (KAS), Friedrich Ebert Foundation (FES), Hanns Seidel Foundation (HSS) and the Regional Cooperation Council (RCC), under the auspices of the German Presidency of the Council of the EU.
“It is the first case when these three German foundations come together for an event,” said Mr. Hackaj.
