In Pogradec📍, we held a productive and friendly meeting with the Mayor of Pogradec, Mr. Ilir Xhakolli, and Mr. Patrice Budry, Program Manager at the Delegation of the European Union. We discussed EU assistance, training, and programs designed to support municipalities. 🇦🇱🇪🇺 The conversation also focused on new opportunities offered by the #EU4Municipalities project to foster local development and strengthen municipal capacities. During the meeting, Mr. Xhakolli welcomed the ShKBSH team and its partners, acknowledging the significance of the #EU4Municipalities initiative. He emphasized that the project comes at a crucial time—as the Municipality of Pogradec is currently implementing major infrastructure projects—and noted that he and his staff are eager to further expand cooperation through such initiatives. Thank you for the hospitality and the valuable discussion! #EU4Municipalities #EUforMunicipalities #Pogradec #LocalDevelopment
