The Archeological Museum of Durres, one of most important in the
Albanian Fund of Cultural Heritage, will be one of the objects that will
be reconstructed for the celebration of the 100th anniversary of
independence.

In the inauguration ceremony of this 100 million ALL project, Prime Minister Sali Berisha noted the significance of guarding and preserving this archeological richness that proves the 3000 old Albanian civilization.

“There is no country in the world with such a small territory and such a large cultural heritage”, Berisha declared.

Prime Minister Berisha asked the Ministry of Culture and Tourism to intensify the cooperation with the local administration for opening new museums, in order to promote the rich cultural, archeological and ethnographic heritage of the Albanians.

“This is “The Beauty of Durres”, discovered by Vangjel Toce. It is absolutely a Mona Lisa in a mosaic. There are other monuments like this. I will quote Muhamet Ali Pasha who visited Egypt and declared that they should clean the Egyptian diamond. In fact, he founded the modern Egypt. We are founding here all times altogether, but we also must clean our diamond. A diamond that will shine as a living proof of the eternity of the civilization of this country and its people”, Berisha declared.
