Consulate of Honor in Shkoder, held a conference at the University
presidency premises, with topic: “Albanians and Austro-Hungary in the
end of XIX century and until the first decades of XX century.

Shkoder professors discussed topics of interest that are related with the education policies of Austro-Hungary, such as “the Austro-Hungarian albanologists under the study of the Italian scholar, Carlo Tagliavini”, from Mimoza Priku, “Austro-Hungarian Education Policy in Northern Albania”, from Rokin Daberdaku, and “Austro-Hungarian scholars and their researches in Albania”, from Mahir Hoti.

An interest was shown for the works that are related with the support of Austro-Hungary over the Albanian matters, such as the stance of the Austro-Hungarian Empire about the Albanian southern border issue in 1913 and 1914, from Romeo Gurakuqi.
Austro-Hungary, and especially the city of Shkoder, have an old and friendly connection, where the supportive contribution of Austro-Hungary can be felt over many years.
