Albania Is Losing Its "Brain", Meta: The Referendum Of April 25, Crucial For The Future Of Albania

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), in a 2020 report, states that Albania was ranked fourth in the world for the increase in the emigration rate of persons with high working abilities for the period 2000/2001 until 2015/2016.

Regarding this report, the President of the Republic Ilir Meta reacts, who through a post on social networks calls it "another black record" for the country.

According to the president, the April 25 elections, which he calls a referendum, are an opportunity to change Albania not only in the next 4 years, but for decades.

Full post by President Ilir Meta:

Another black record! According to the 2020 report of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), Albania ranks 4th in the world for the emigration of highly skilled people at work and 8th in the world for the rate of departure of intellectuals.                 

The departure of the "cream" of society is another painful indicator that citizens are leaving Albania, who have a good standard of living, receive a satisfactory payment and have a property, but for whom the level of public services is unacceptable, feel silent, unrepresented, powerless to change the situation in the country and hopeless for the future of their children.

The referendum of April 25, 2021 is crucial for the future of Albania, not only for 4 years, but for the coming decades. It is an opportunity to restore quality standards of services, respect and human dignity, to make Albania a livable country for all, with new opportunities and hopes, especially for the youth.

With hope and faith, let us unite and take our destinies to change this reality, which is destroying families and aging Albania, to build here a secure and European future for all.
