15 June 2017

The PASHKO European Institute was established on June 15, 2017, even though it quickly became apparent that only the economic aspect of this purpose fit a narrower mold given the greater scope of economic and political liberalism. They manifested in initiatives related to innovation, development, and culture. The establishment of the European Institute PASHKO, associated with Gramoz Pashko, the icon of Albanian liberalism, gave this institute’s operations a new dimension. Well-known public figures, such as Armand Shkullaku, Ervin Bushati, Genc Ruli, Mustafa Nano, and Selami Xhepa made up the board of the PASHKO European Institute.

13 June 2022

The PASHKO Liberal Institute was established on June 13, 2022, in response to the necessity to further integrate liberal concepts and structural modifications while adjusting to various social dynamics. The creation of the Liberal Institute of Tirana PASHKO, emphasizing the profiling and emphasis of the liberal dimension of this think tank in Tirana, was made possible by the rise to the level of a clearly dedicated institute and the evolution towards this form of previous organisms, which from a content point of view are a heritage of almost 20 years.

History over time

The five programs that ILP has as its main pillars—liberalism, media, cultural heritage, development, and innovation—require an innovative approach in light of the complex realities in which our society has evolved over the past 20 years, where the forces of globalization and technological change have transformed and are radically transforming the very nature of civilization. The Liberal Institute of Tirana PASHKO has created a wide range of activities in this area over the course of 20 years, including education and promotion of an informed, unbiased public discourse in the best interests of the public and the long-term interests of the nation.
