The Kokkalis Programs at Harvard

For the benefit of those who are yet unaware of the excellent Kokkalis Programs at Harvard, I am pleased to post the news below about upcoming lectures.

Jane and I have attended many of these Kokkalis Programs at Harvard that have featured as guest Albanian speakers the former president of Albania, Prof. Rexhep Meidani, and Kosova's Minister of Economy and Finance, Ahmet Shala.

The Kokkalis Program speakers are diverse and well-selected so I urge visitors to the Frosina Blog to attend them!
