përbashkësia

Përbashkësia, also known as the Community of Albanians, is a political and cultural organization that aims to promote the interests of Albanians worldwide. Founded in 1991, it was established to foster unity and cooperation among Albanians living in different parts of the world, particularly in the context of the breakup of Yugoslavia and the subsequent conflicts in the Balkans. The organization's headquarters are located in Tirana, Albania.

Përbashkësia operates through various branches and chapters in different countries, including Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Montenegro, and the diaspora communities in Europe, North America, and Australia. It engages in advocacy, cultural exchange, and community development initiatives to strengthen the Albanian identity and promote Albanian language and culture.

The organization is involved in political advocacy, supporting Albanian political parties and candidates in elections, and advocating for Albanian interests in international forums. Përbashkësia also plays a role in promoting Albanian language education and preserving Albanian cultural heritage.

Despite its efforts, Përbashkësia has faced challenges, including internal divisions and criticism for its perceived alignment with certain political parties. However, it remains a significant force in the Albanian diaspora and continues to work towards the unity and advancement of the Albanian community worldwide.
