The Albanian community in Parma gives good news.
In one of the squares of this city will be located the statue of our National Hero, Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg.
It was this community itself that announces that after 12 years of waiting finally is received approval from the mayor.
"Dear friends! With special pleasure and excitement we communicate that after almost 12 years of volunteering, dedication, commitment, endless activities with the Albanian community in Parma, with open doors always devoted to the preservation and spread of Albanian culture and traditions in Parma and beyond after a massive and intensive work by the association, the Municipality of Pama has responded positively to the request of our association for placing the statue of the national hero of all Albanians, Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg, in one of the city's squares.
The request was presented to the Municipality of Parma by the external advisor of the Municipality Marion Gajda, who is also part of our leading group...The positive response from the City Hall arrived a few days ago and it delights us immensely, honors and fills us with pride as this is the year of our National Hero, and we in Parma will remind forever him by placing soon a statue in this city.
Proud of all the valuable work that has been done! Let's enjoy this achievement and appreciation of the Albanian community in Parma," Scanderbeg Parma writes.
