According to ICRO website, ambassadors of Muslim countries, Muslim leaders from neighboring countries such as Macedonia, Kosovo and Montenegro and Muftis from different cities of Albania took part in the ceremony.
Albanian Prime Minister Sali Berisha addressed the ceremony saying that when the grand prayer hall is completed, the city’s need to religious spaces will be met.
He regretted that prejudices had caused the construction of the prayer hall to remain on hold for 20 years.
Tirana’s grand Mosalla has been designed by Turkish Architecture Muharram Helmi Shnalip.
Construction of the prayer hall, which will cost 13 million Euro, is planned to finish in three years. It will hold 5000 worshippers upon completion.
