President Bajram Begaj attended the opening of the house museum of renowned Albanian writer Dritëro Agolli in Menkulas, Devoll, on the 95th anniversary of his birth. He described the museum as a national act of gratitude and an investment in Albania’s cultural heritage.

Begaj said Agolli was one of the most important figures in Albanian literature. Through his work, the writer made his birthplace an inseparable part of the country’s national identity. The president also praised Agolli’s ability to portray ordinary people’s lives and inner worlds, as well as his mastery of the Albanian language.

Meanwhile, Begaj said the museum would preserve the writer’s memory and provide a new cultural destination for visitors, researchers and young people. He also highlighted Agolli’s contribution to public debate during the political changes of the 1990s.
