The second edition of the “Prishtina Gastronomy Festival” with Albanian folk songs and dances kicked off under the motto “Bread and salt and bountifulness”. The Festival will last until July 31st.

The mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, the mayor of Pristina, Përparim Rama, important personalities from the two countries as well as many artists were also present in this activity.        
Mayor Veliaj highlighted that what unites us is many times more important than what divides us. “The things that unite us are many times more important and stronger than the things that divide us. A good policy is not a policy that divides people, here and there, it is a policy that unites people”, underlined Veliaj.

He added that today the Albanian nation is living the best days it has ever had.

“We have today as a nation the best days we could ever had. I know that not everything is perfect, not everything works as it should, but we are in the best days of our history. Kosovo is independent, Kosovo is free, today Kosovo is the Capital of Culture with the Manifesto. I am privileged that today it is Tirana that opens this fantastic Festival of Gastronomy. This is an activity to fill our heart and soul”, declared Veliaj.
