Haxhiu has said that in these municipalities, ties with Kosovo are part of everyday life.
The students go and come between universities in Pristina and Tetovo, while many families have relatives on both sides of the border, she has written.
She has also remembered the spring of 1999, when many families in these municipalities opened the doors to their homes for forced exiles from Kosovo during the war and shared with them what they had.
Even today, those who took refuge that spring gratefully remember the house he received, Haxhi wrote.
According to her, the mayors have talked about the services that residents expect from the municipalities every day and opportunities for young people to get educated and work in their homeland.
She has said they have also discussed co-operation with Kosovo municipalities, through improved common cross-border services and projects, as well as opportunities for young people from both countries to meet more frequently through schools and cultural organisations.
These ties have built Albanians themselves, generation after generation. Our task as institutions is to preserve and strengthen, Haxhi wrote.
