This message is being sent by Mark Kosmo of Albania 2001, on behalf of Dritan
Prifti from the Harvard Kennedy School in order to reach as many people as
possible in the Boston area.    We appreciate your help in getting the word
out (both within and outside the Albanian Community) on this event since we
would like a strong showing of the Albanian community in the
Boston/Cambridge/Worcester area.  It is the first time EVER that an Albanian
Prime Minister has spoken at Harvard, and, I believe possibly the first time
ever at any major US university.   So, it is an opportunity to make a good
impression in a prestigious and important setting.

Regardless of your opinions for Albanian politics, we hope that
Albanian-Americans born in the USA, and new emigres from Albania, Kosova, and
other parts of the Balkans will come to the presentation at Harvard on May
8th.  The room holds 700 people, so please pass the word along to your
relatives and friends (including non-Albanian ones who might be interested)
since we want to fill the room as much as possible.  I am sure that some of us
(in fine Albanian fashion) will also informally go out for a coffee or drink
to socialize after the presentation, too, for those of you who need an extra
incentive to come!!!

An announcement is also attached in Microsoft Word, so that it can be printed
and posted if you wish to do this in certain locations in church, school,
work, or wherever.

Thank You,
Mark Kosmo


Albanian Prime Minister, Mr. Ilir Meta, and Albanian Socialist Party Chairman,
Mr. Fatos Nano, have been invited to speak at the John F.  Kennedy School of
Government at Harvard University on political and economic developments in
Albania and the Balkans.  The event will be hosted at the Kennedy School of
Government, ARCO FORUM, Littauer Building, 79 JFK Street, Cambridge, MA 02138.
 The date of the event is Monday May 8, 2000 and the time will be 6PM. 
Attendance is free and open to the public.

I would encourage all of you to attend the event.  It will offer an
opportunity for questions and answers, as well as an informal exchange of
ideas.  This visit is another effort on the part of the government of Albania
to make Albania known to the international community, make the regional issues
better understood by the community, and gather further support for regional
stability, peace, and reconstruction.  Opinions will be offered on the future
status of Kosovo, plans for national reconciliation, stability pact for the
Balkans, etc.

I hope you will all be able to attend and support the goal of making Albania
and its issues more known to the area.  I am attaching a flier which you can
post (where you feel it is appropriate) for others to note the event, and
would also appreciate it if you could forward this e-mail.

Thank you very much
DRITAN PRIFTI
