Albania

On 1 August, a drumming celebration was held in Tirana, on the main square close to the University. The drumming event began at 11 AM local time, with permission granted by the Municipality of Tirana. Among the participants were a group of cluster munitions survivors from northeast Albania, survivors from the Gerdec explosions and representatives from Albanian Civil Society. Following the drumming, the participants marched with banners and flags in the main boulevard passing by the Presidency, the Government offices and the house of the Albanian Parliament. A press conference was then opened with a speech by the ALB-AID director in the Hotel Tirana International at twelve o clock, where CMC campaigners spoke about the efforts and hard work that had ultimately resulted in EIF. A cluster munition survivor provided a speech at the press conference. Three ALB-AID staff were appointed to organise the details of the events of the day.
