Balkan Economic Forum 2023, Tirana, Albania.
Good morning. Welcome to the Balkan Economic Forum 2023 conference.
United in diversity is the motto of the European Union.
It signifies how Europeans have come together to work for peace and mutually beneficial cooperation, while at the same time economically benefiting from the continent’s many different cultures.
The future of peace and prosperity that we seek needs a foundation of acceptance, security, equality, justice, and respect of other nations’ sovereignty.
Our organization offers the opportunity to build the bridges of cooperation as together we uncover the riches of our region and are strengthened by our differences as well as what binds us together as a people in one of the most diverse regions of Europe.
We are all driven by the same dreams and aspirations. And what began as a dream a decade ago evolved into reality as our organization has become infused with a collective energy from which new ideas and business relationships have emerged.
Together, we can collaborate toward a brighter future as long as we remain mindful of history which has shown us that there will be no future if we remain divided. We are all made of the same clay, spirit and dreams and now we can all work for our common future. Regional exchange can be a source of growth and development as well as the enhancement of good governance for the benefit of every one of us.
It is a great honor to declare this Balkan Economic Forum open.
Constantine Alexander
Founder & President Emeritus
