On 8 October 2026, House of Europe hosted the online roundtable “From the Administrative-Territorial Reform to the Mountain Package: Bringing Local Governance Closer to Mountain Communities”. The roundtable examined how the 2015 territorial reform, the current debate on a new territorial map and the Mountain Package affect governance and citizen participation in Albania’s mountain areas. Speakers Albert Rakipi (AIIS), Gerta Meta (Society for Democratic Culture) and analyst Eduart Gjokutaj discussed these questions with participants from civil society, local authorities, academia and the wider public.
