On 9 November 2025, the Ambassador of the Republic of Albania to the Kingdom of Belgium, Ms. Albana Dautllari, participated in a mass organized in Bruges by the Albanian Catholic Community in Belgium, under the leadership of Don Kastriot Idrizi.

The mass was held on the occasion of the Dedication of the Basilica of St. John Lateran in Rome. The ceremony carried special significance for the Albanian community, as it took place within the context of the beatification anniversary of the Albanian Martyrs, a meaningful moment that commemorates their sacrifice, resilience, and steadfast faith in spiritual and human values.

In her remarks, Ambassador Dautllari praised the Albanian Catholic Community in Belgium as a living example of preserving national identity, spiritual values, and unity among Albanians in the diaspora. She expressed gratitude to Don Kastriot Idrizi and all members of the community for their dedication to strengthening spiritual and cultural ties between Albanians in Belgium and their homeland.

The Embassy’s participation in this event reflects the Albanian state’s appreciation and support for the role of the diaspora in preserving traditions, fostering cooperation, and promoting solidarity among compatriots.
