Edi Rama has many faces: an artist, a writer, a sportsman, a politician. During his 11 years as the Mayor of Tirana, Albania’s capital, Edi Rama uplifted Tirana’s post-communist spirit by turning its grey facades into colorful art and fought bribes in the public sector by redesigning the interior of civil servants’ offices.

This event is co-sponsored by the Center for European Studies and the Center for International Development.
