The organization's scope and field of activity are as follows:
The VETËVENDOSJE! in Albania works based on the principle of equality, democracy, and the freedom of will and social justice to increase awareness and engagement in relation to the Albanian national issue and social progress in all their dimensions and problems within and outside the territory of the Republic of Albania. The Center aims to provide support for the exercise of the democratic right to self-determination of the Albanian people for the realization of the unification of the independent state of Kosovo with Albania, based on the Preamble of the Constitution of the Republic of Albania and the principle of self-determination of peoples expressed in the Chapter 1 of the Charter of the United Nations. The Center is inspired by the values expressed by VETËVENDOSJE! in the Republic of Kosovo and in the history of the Albanian people's resistance to the struggle for freedom, where the National Renaissance should be emphasized, as well as the recent liberation wars under the countries of the former Yugoslavia.
The center will work to raise awareness that national unification and integration of Albania, and beyond Albanians, into Euro-Atlantic structures (such as the European Union and NATO) are processes that need to be realized in parallel and complement each other. It aims to increase the awareness and civic activism in the Republic of Albania on the problems of Albanians living in autochthonous Albanian lands outside the territory of the Republic of Albania, and vice versa...
