The International Society “Women Alb World” had the pleasure of welcoming you and laying the groundwork for a fruitful collaboration with Kosovo’s Ministry of Diaspora and Strategic Investments. The donation of the Kosovo Declaration of Independence by Mrs. Shqipe Krasniqi, Director of the Department of Research and Investment Support Diaspora, was an exciting moment for us. Women’s diaspora flight is significant, but women’s entrepreneurial flight is even greater.

Moment emocionues për ne ishte dhurimi i Deklaratës së Pavarësisë së Kosovës nga Drejtoresha e Departamentit të Kërkimeve dhe Mbështetjes së Investimeve të Diaspores, Zj. Shqipe Krasniq.

Fuqia e gruas në diasporë është e madhe, por fuqia e gruas në sipërmarrje është akoma më e madhe.

Është koha të bashkojmë fuqitë e të tregojmë çfarë jemi të zonjat të bëjmë.
