Klinë, 14 August – The Municipality of Klinë and the non-governmental organisation Syri i Vizionit have formalised their cooperation for the implementation of the AGE+ project II programme – “Building age-friendly communities through intergenerational action in Kosovo”, which will be implemented during the 2026-2028 period, with the support of the Austrian Development Agency (ADA) and co-financing from Volkshilfe Solidarität.
The Memorandum of Understanding was signed by Dr Zenun Elezaj, Mayor of the Municipality of Klinë, and Veton Mujaj, Executive Director of Syri i Vizionit, thereby formalising their joint commitment to strengthening cooperation in support of older citizens.
Through this cooperation, the aim is to promote active and healthy ageing, increase the participation of older women and men in community life and decision-making processes, and improve local services and mechanisms that address their needs.
An important component of the programme is the establishment and operationalisation of the Solidarity Centre for older people, which will serve as a space for socialisation, cultural, educational, health and intergenerational activities, creating more opportunities for the activation and inclusion of older people in the community.
Likewise, through intergenerational activities, the aim is to strengthen connections among young people, children, and older people by promoting respect, solidarity, and the exchange of experiences across generations.
This is an important step towards creating a more inclusive, active and age-friendly community in the Municipality of Klinë, where older people are heard, included, contribute and are valued.
With this agreement, the Municipality of Klinë and Syri i Vizionit reaffirm their commitment to building a community where older age is not seen only as a beneficiary category, but as an active and important part of community life.
