During the discussions, the challenges faced by the people of Gora were presented. Gora is a mountainous region located at the crossroads of Kosovo, Albania and North Macedonia, with villages situated at an altitude of more than 1,200 meters. This region is known for its strong sense of community, the preservation of Islamic tradition and the distinctive cultural identity of the Gorani people, who throughout history have preserved their language, customs and religious life. Today, this community is also present in many European countries.

The meeting was an opportunity to discuss strengthening cooperation, mutual support and connections between communities, while emphasizing the importance of preserving the identity, religious life and cultural heritage of the people of Gora.
