It was a true pleasure to share dinner with Congressman Timothy M. Kennedy, U.S. Representative for New York’s 26th Congressional District, alongside respected community leaders from Shoqata Besi, Shoqata Atdhetare Dibra, Malësia e Madhe, Plav and Guci, and Rugova.
We were also joined by Jack and Jeff Sinanaj, successful Albanian-American entrepreneurs and owners of eight restaurants worldwide, Empire Steakhouse!
We had the opportunity to raise our concerns with Congressman Kennedy about the challenges Albanians face in Montenegro, Kosovo, and North Macedonia. We stressed the importance of having the support and voice of the U.S. Congress in these matters.
Congressman Kennedy, who serves on the House Homeland Security Committee, affirmed his strong support for the Albanian community and pledged to stand with us.
Together, we continue our mission to advocate for our people and preserve our heritage, both in the U.S. and across the Balkans.
