Elisa Spiropali visits the Albanology Department at Ludwig-Maximilian University. She meets Prof. Dr. Carola Metzner-Nebelsick, Prof. Dr. Enkeleida Kapia, faculty members, students, and alumni.

Spiropali highlights the department’s historical, academic, and political importance over nearly 60 years. She notes its founding under Martin Camaj and support from the Bavarian state, now backed by the Albanian government and Prime Minister Edi Rama.

She says the department has played a crucial role in Albania’s relationships with Europe. Its research and teaching make Albanology in Munich a lasting bridge for knowledge, dialogue, and cooperation.

Spiropali emphasizes that the department remains a reference point for the study of Albanian language, history, and identity in Europe. It shows that Albania’s European path rests on strong cultural, academic, and identity foundations.
