The first Kadare Night, conceived by Eduard Alia and Tomorr Kokona, received an overwhelming response, bringing together a full audience of artists, writers, musicians, and members of the Albanian and broader cultural community, along with esteemed personalities from both countries.
Beyond its artistic success, the first edition became a concrete act of giving back. Through the generosity of attendees and supporters, the first event raised enough to purchase a much-needed medical transport vehicle for the Medical Clinic of Fushë-Arrëz in northern Albania.
