June 2022: ALBANIA Aims to Strengthen Global Justice for Past and Present Atrocities

Albania is a small, Sunni Majority country that has successfully
kept religion out of its politics and allowed the practice of other
faiths besides Islam. It is also a country scarred by invasions,
autocracy and institutional breakdowns. But the NATO member and
EU-hopeful has risen to become a strong voice in the Balkans. Its
elected two-year term in the UN Security Council began in January,
and in June, it is Council president, bringing a former communist
voice that is strongly opposed to Putin’s war in Ukraine. On
today's show, we talk with Albanian Permanent Representative Ferit
Hoxha as well as Agon Maliqi, an expert on the Balkans and a
pro-democracy activist. Links: PassBlue's website: www.passblue.com
