The Pyramid of Tirana has officially opened its doors this evening, through a special ceremony, with the participation of the leaders of the Balkans as well as the leaders of the European Union.

The Mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, who inaugurated the new premises in front of the leaders of the European Union, said that today the Pyramid starts a new life, as it will serve the new generation and the jobs of the future.

"For those who still do not know the history, the Pyramid started as a mausoleum for Enver Hoxha. He died in 1985, a time when we didn't have much electricity and refrigerators, so it wasn't so convenient to have a mummy in the Pyramid of Tirana, so they changed the idea, from a mausoleum to a museum. I heard Ed today, who explained a bit about the concept of the Pyramid, which was the headquarters of NATO during a conflict with the former Yugoslavia. What a lot of people don't know is that Eddie and I were having a debate when the EU made a request to set up offices here. Since it took six years for the decision to be made, the prime minister decided to give it to the children. After many lives lived, today the Pyramid starts with a new life, it will be the biggest center for learning and digital training for the jobs of the future. This city 8 years ago was 25% textile and shoe production. Meanwhile, it is already 25% ICT and 25% tourism. This shows that things can change," said Veliaj.

The mayor also said that part of the Pyramid will also be the College of Europe, where students from all over Europe and the region, in addition to Bruges and Natolin, can now study in Tirana, alongside Albanian students in one of the most prestigious academic institutions for development and development promotion of the European Project./ CNA
