| | CER | Leading Albanian arts director ousted |
 | | When Edi Muka, the director of Tirana's International Center of Culture (ICC), Albania's first and only center for contemporary art and culture, was fired by the Minister of Culture on 5 December without reason, it was a setback for the emerging Albanian art scene. |
 | | Even in Albania, this would be surprising were it not for the fact that the new minister of culture, Esmeralda Uruci, a mathematics and economics teacher from Shkodra, has no previous experience in cultural policy or in policy building. |
 | | Initially, it was a mausoleum (officially the "Enver Hoxha Memorial Museum"), inaugurated in 1988 as the final resting place of Albania's ruler, Enver Hoxha, the lord of life and death in Albania from 1944 until his death in 1985. |
