This movement has been joined by well-known figures from the area, including intellectuals, businesspeople, farmers, and young people. The group has immediately begun work on preparing a detailed document, which will serve as an argument to defend Prrenjas’s current autonomy as a separate municipality.
The plan is for this draft to be finalized during the month of September and then submitted to the Parliamentary Commission for Territorial Reform, the Prime Minister’s Office, the Albanian Parliament, as well as international organizations.
According to the initiators, the document will be based on a series of arguments related to the region’s economic strength, the natural resources it possesses, as well as its rich historical and cultural heritage. All these elements, they emphasize, justify keeping Prrenjas as an independent administrative unit.
The first meeting of the Alliance was characterized by massive participation of the population. During the meeting, the organizers emphasized the fact that the initiative will remain free from any partisan influence. They described this effort as a deeply civic cause, closely linked to the local identity and the perspective of economic, social, and cultural development of Prrenjas.
