The President of the Republic, H.E. Ilir Meta was invited on November 15, 2021, to visit this exhibition, organized by civil society, with old photographs and maps, thousands of years old, found in Encyclopedias and Museums of the countries of different parts of the world, such as the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Turkey and Greece.
President Meta accepted the invitation to take a closer look at this exhibition, organized outside the premises of the Institution, without undertaking to verify the accuracy or make the interpretation of the exhibited materials.
Every serious state should be clear that the President of the Republic of Albania, H.E. Ilir Meta is not accountable for his decisions and stances before any accredited embassy in Tirana, but only before the Assembly of the Republic of Albania and the Albanian people.
Every foreign representation in Tirana, of every state that adheres to the Vienna Convention, for any claim or explanation regarding the activity or stances of the President of the Republic, should follow only the official path, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The President of the Republic of Albania, H.E. Ilir Meta, as it is known worldwide, has been, is and will remain a determined opponent of the changing of borders in the Balkans.
