A summary of the study in which I have contributed as an expert in regional and local development policies: European Urban Sustainability Delphi study

A must-read book - Një libër që duhet lexuar: “Ese dhe etyde filozofike estetike”
Studimeve të tij, të zgjedhura jo rastësisht apo për nevoja për arsyetime të kulluara teorike, por mbështetur në përvojën e zhvillimit të ndërlikuar të kulturës në shekuj Prof i analizon kryeveprat e arteve dhe estetikës, jo si të largëta apo të harruara por duke theksuar tek to vlerat universale dhe duke vecuar prej tyre mesazhet fisnike, që dëshmojnë të vërteta ndricuese edhe për kohën tonë. Paralelizmat befasues të tij të lejojnë të meditosh dhe ti nxjerrësh vet mësimet e nevojëshme prej tij.
E “marrë për dore”, prej Profesorit, nëpërmjetë kësaj vepre, ju riktheva Shekspirit (duke lexuar “Timonin”,” Sebelinin” dhe “Masë për masë”, të përkthyera nga Kristaq Traja), ju riktheva Dante Alighierit (nëpërmjetë ciklit të plotë në italisht të “Komedisë Hyjnore”, me komentet dhe vleresimet përkatëse nga personalitete të shquar të kohës sonë, midis të cilëve Umberto Eco). Pavarësisht magjisë, që kam ndjerë kur i kam lexuar për herë të parë, mund të them pa mëdyshje se provova një kënaqesi të vecantë dhe pata një kuptim më të thellë të tyre. Nuk mund të mbetej jashtë analizës së Prof. Uçit Servantesi me Don Kishotin e Mançës, Dostojevski etj.
Ndjesia e këndëshme dhe lehtësia me të cilin e shoqërova leximin e këtij libri dhe rileximin a autorëve që përmenda, e nxitur nga këndvështrimi i autorit, për mua është e njëjtë me atë ndjesi që më ka shkaktuar leximi i veprës së Prof. Përparim Kabos: “Epistolate-Antropologjia e frymës”.
Jemi me fatë që kemi bashkëkohës të tillë! Mos i lini pa lexuar. Leximi i tyre të iluminon, të mencuron dhe te fisnikeron.

All rights for all" -Të gjitha të drejtat për të gjithë”
Discussion by Luiza Hoxhaj in Conference on:
Fiftieth Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights-All rights
for all"
December 10, 1998
Dear participants!
First of all, I would like to greet the organizers of the
Conference, the Women and Family Committee, the Project "Promoting the
Economic and Social Status of Women in Albania" and the "International
Training Center in Turin of the International Labor Organization" who
chose Vlora as the city in which this conference is being organized. Of course,
the Prefecture and the Municipality of Vlora deserve congratulations for their
cooperation.
I find the selection you made appropriate, in which you obviously
took into consideration the democratic traditions of these three, in its
distant and recent history.
But Vlora currently, like the whole of Albania, has faced and is
facing the problems of the prolonged transition as well as those of the
post-crisis, which unfortunately also create problems in the field of human
rights.
This transition period, in addition to the expansion of some human rights or
the further completion of our legislation in the field of human rights, these
steps, which have favored social progress, has also had as their phenomenon the
systematic violation of the rights of to man, such as: the right to assemble,
the right to be treated with credit, various favors, the basic right to vote,
physical violence against journalists or politicians, free movement, etc. These
cases, when they have reached their peak, have forced citizens to use the last
weapon of civil disobedience, against a regime that does not protect human
rights, on the contrary, it violates them.
I said this not to politicize the problem, but to serve this
moment as a moment of awareness and awareness for the human rights that we
enjoy as individuals and for the efforts that we must make to protect these
rights, but also also for the state's obligations to ensure and guarantee these
rights, which the law gives us, with the sole objective of not falling into a
similar situation. Here I have in mind the first paragraph of the introduction
to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which states: "..that the
recognition of the dignity that belongs to all members of the human family as
well as the recognition of their equal and inalienable rights constitutes the
foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world".
All international documents on human rights, as well as
international documents and conventions, place us in front of the obligation
for everyone to fight and work to build a state where the law reigns and where
we are all equal before the law.
The truth is that, in general, our legislation in this regard is
complete. In order to realize its implementation in the conditions of the
development of civil society, non-governmental associations were born.
In the field of human rights, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a
point of reference.
Taking into consideration the fact that the development of this
Conference coincides with the seminar developed for the training of Volonian
women in the field of implementation of the rights of women and girls in
Albania, I would focus on the field of the situation of Volonian women and the
level of organization of her in the NGO.
The development of civil society and the democratic transition are closely
related to the success of women's participation in dealing with its problems.
As was seen from the presentations that were made by them during the seminar,
what is most important, as was also seen during their activity, we can say
that: In Vlora, the women's movement is in full bloom.
Vlonia women have well understood the principle of participation,
the principle of being active. They have all the necessary intellectual
potential to make their contribution in all spheres of life, in the new
conditions of transition from a closed society to an open society, from
totalitarianism to democracy.
But it is true that they have not always had the opportunity to
make this contribution in state bodies, such as in the high or local
administration, in decision-making or executive bodies.
This difference between their intellectual potential and the
impossibility to give their contribution in some cases, due to various
obstacles or undervaluation, they have compensated with the principle of
volunteerism, by organizing themselves in non-governmental organizations. Today
in Vlora we have 8 professional women's NGOs, operating in various fields, as
well as 5 women's political associations.
The Family Planning Center also operates in Vlora. All these
organizations are active in the development of the life of our city. Here we
must not forget the contribution and participation of women in other mixed
associations (without gender orientation) such as SH.K.L. Democratic, the
associations that have the protection of human rights or even professional
ones.
The first flower is the Women's Business Promotion Association
established in 1994, which is already an experienced association. During the
years 1997-1998, this was followed by 8 other NGOs, which were integrated with
dignity.
The fruit of this commitment of women from Vlonia is the fact that
today in our city we have a number of women and girls leaders, this number,
although modest, shows a trend in the positive direction for their evaluation.
- We have a woman representative in the legislature; in the local
councils we have: two councilors in the Municipal Council and two councilors in
the District Council; in the management of financial institutions, we have two
women managers (Mrs. Soq and Insig); we have a director in medicine; at the
University of Vlora we have two women deans; in the only SME Development Agency,
the director is a woman.
But if we make these calculations in relation to men, the numbers
are still modest. This means we still have a long way to go. In the future, our
objectives must be more ambitious.
Another point that I would like to emphasize is the woman's
confrontation with phenomena such as divorce or prostitution.
Often economic problems, unemployment, this is more pronounced for
women, stripping her in most cases of the elements of ownership, have caused
her to lose her economic independence and therefore part of her authority to
have influential role in the family in the best case, but also in the
dissolution of the family in the worst case. This inferior position of hers has
meant that in most cases she is not the applicant for this divorce even when
her life becomes unbearable. This is clearly shown by the fact that the number
of divorces requested by women is decreasing.
Often, the inability to cope with life, as well as the low
intellectual level, or individual predisposition, or the inability to face
criminal groups, leads some women and girls to the path of prostitution. In the
case of Vlora, the mentality of its population in relation to the woman in the
family: the protective role in relation to the mother, daughter or sister,
adding to this the economic level, reduces the premises for the Vlora woman or
girl to fall into the network of prostitution. But that doesn't mean we
shouldn't be concerned about it. Our struggle and efforts must be of such a
level that we do not even allow the possibility of Vlora being a transit point
for the export of prostitution for girls and women from the province or other
countries. Vlonian mothers and daughters, Vlonian families must be strongly
invested so that their sons, brothers and husbands do not fall asleep and
become collaborators of these networks.
We all together can manage to fight, protect and realize our
rights in particular and human rights in general.
Thank you for your attention!

There comes a day when dreams come true -Vjen një ditë që ëndërrat bëhen realitet!
I felt a very special pleasure to see that after 11 years, a
process of realizing one of my dreams for Berat has begun, one of those things
whose non-realization remains a hostage. It is about the project of
systematizing the cascade of the Osum River. It was a project conceived only a
short time after we had reintroduced the file, dusty on the shelves, for the
inclusion of Berat in the protected values of world cultural heritage (now
Berat is a reality in UNESCO), after we had drafted the regulation of the
administration of the museum city. I feel proud of this achievement. It was the
work of a very dedicated staff, eager for ideas, support and good work, staff
that you just need to know how to motivate. When I think about them, I say to
myself: Oh, how many battles we have waged together to protect that city: from
the biters of Mount Tomor, who barbarically exploited the tile area, from those
who sold the water of Berat, leaving the citizens of Berat without water,
despite its abundance, with those who exploited inert materials without
criteria, with those who, under the guise of electrical plants, wanted to cover
the three districts with garbage, with those who wanted to build outside the
criteria in the museum area, with the barbarians of the quarries in the
Vajgurore Bridge. With that staff, we have done a lot of beautiful and useful
work in a very short period of time, as if we had worked for a century. My
gratitude goes to the wonderful staff of that period, of the Prefect of the
Berat District (my): Irakliu full of ideas, Aliu, Koci, Kristaq, Natashë, Juli,
Halimi, Venetiku, Monika, Mariola, Halimi, Bashkimi, Tomori, Mirele, Mondi,
Tomi and Nikolla. Let us all wish success to Juli, the youngest member of our
staff at that time, who today, professionally and intellectually grown, is
running for the position of Mayor of the Municipality of Ura Vajgurore. I tell
them that I am proud of the joint work and that I envy you that you live and
work in that magical city. Congratulations also go to the wonderful people of
Berat, who, like few others, have known how to preserve the values of their
city. Finally, a Prime Minister assists in the first step, the process of
selecting the idea for a beautiful project, in launching the process of making
a project a reality, which has values not only for the aesthetic and functional
side of the city, but will certainly also have ecological value, environmental
protection and adaptability to the multiple values of that city.
A city like Berat makes we proud! I really hope that the best
and most sustainable project wins, because otherwise it would be null. Although
I am not from Berat, I feel like a Berat citizen in my soul, (I am borrowing my
words from the interview given to the Antipatrea newspaper, where I also
mentioned the obstacle of not realizing the cascade project, due to being
transferred to another job) I thank Prime Minister Rama very much for this
step. I am really very happy! I really hope that this step and the finalization
of this project justify this joy! The opposite would be disappointing!

Ndjeja një kënaqësi tepër të vecantë tek shihja mbas 11 vjetësh, që ka nisur një proces i jetësimit të një prej ëndërrave të mia për Beratin, e një prej atyre gjërave mosrealizimi i të cilës të mbetet peng. Bëhet fjalë për projektin e sistemimit të kaskadës së lumit Osum. Ishte një projekt i ideuar vetëm pak kohë mbasi kishim rifutur në proces riaplikimi dosjen, e pluhurosur ndër rafte, për përfshirjen e Beratiti në vlerat e mbrojtura të trashëgimisë kulturore botrore (tashme Berati në UNESCO është një realitet), mbasi kishim hartuar rregulloren e administrimit të qytetit muze. Ndihem krenare për këtë arritje. Ishte puna e një stafi tepër të përkushtuar, të etur për ide, mbështetje dhe punë të mira, staf të cilin mjaft të dije ta motivoje. Kur i kaloj nëpër mend them me vehte: Eh sa shumë beteja kemi zhvilluar së bashku për ta mbrojtur atë qytet: nga kafshuesit e malit Tomorit, që e shfrytëzonin barbarisht zonën e pllakave, nga ata që shisnin ujin e Beratit, duke lenë qztetarët E Beratit pa ujë, pavarësisht bollëkut të tij me ata që shfrytezonin pa kritere inertet, me ata që nën maskën e impianteve elektrik donin ti mbulonin tre qarqet me plehra, me ata që donin të ndërtonin jashtë kritereve në zonën muzeale, me barbarët e guroreve në Urën Vajgurore. Me atë staf kemi bërë shumë punë të bukura e të dobishme në një periudhë kohore shumë të shkurtër, sikur të kishim punuar një shekull. Falenderimi im shkon për stafin e mrekullueshëm, të asaj periudhe, të Prefektes së Qarkut Berat (timin): Irakliun plot ide, Aliun, Kocin, Kristaqin, Natashën, Julin, Halimin, Venetikun, Moniken, Mariolen, Halimin, Bashkimin, Tomorin, Mirelen, Mondin, Tomin e Nikollën. Bashkarisht le t[i urojme suksese Julit, anëtares më të re të stafit tonë në atë kohë, e cila sot e rritur profesionalisht dhe inteektualisht, kandidon për postin Kryetares së Bashkisë së Urës Vajgurore. Ju them atyre se krenohem me punën e përbashket dhe se Ju kam zili që jetoni e punoni në atë qytet të magjishëm. Urimi shkon, gjithashtu, për beratasit e mrekullueshëm, të cilët si rrallëkush kanë ditur të konservojnë vlerat e qytetit të tyre. Më në fund një Kryeministër asiston në hapin e parë, procesin e përzgjedhjes së idesë për një projekt të bukur, në lancimin e procesit të bërjes realitet të një projekti, i cili ka vlera jo vetëm për anën estetike dhe funksionale të qytetit, por me siguri do të ketë edhe vlerë ekologjike, të mbrojtjes së ambjentit dhe të përshtatëshmërisë me vlerat e shumëfishta të atij qyteti.
Një qytet si Berati të bën krenar! Uroj shumë që të fitoj
projekti më i mirë dhe më i qëndrueshëm, sepse në të kundërt do të ishte nul.
Unë megjithëse nuk jam beratase, por në shpirt ndihem qytetare beratase, (po
huazoj fjalët e mia nga intervista dhënë
për gazetën Antipatrea, ku përmendia edhe pengun e mosrealiyimit të projektit
të kaskadës, për shkak të trasferimit në një detyrë tjetër) e falenderoj shumë
Kryeministrin Rama për këtë hap. Jam vërtetë shumë e gëzuar! Shpresoj shumë që
ky hap dhe finalizimi i këtij projekti ta justifikoj këtë gëzim! E kunderta do
të ishte dëshpëruese!
