The Authority for Information on Former Communist Secret Service Cases will place thousands of files in their new building.
While the infrastructure still needs some final interventions, the first requests have already arrived.
The family of Musine Kokalari has requested information about her case, and Genta Sula, Director of the Authority, says the file exists and they will process it as soon as possible.
The staff has counted 212.000 different cases so far, 250.000 personal files and dozens of millions of pages, which will also be digitalized, according Director Sula.
But will this memory and awareness institution serve to divide the future from the past?
“The past is always there and there is nothing what we can do about it. The point is if we are able to cure its wounds and promote reconciliation. This is the choice made by the Albanian society”, Sula said.
Musine Kokalari was an Albanian writer, also co-founder of the Albanian Social-Democratic Party in 1943. The communist regime did not allow her to write anymore, and isolated her, until she died in 1983.
