It's the end of the summer holiday season , the beginning of the new school year , millions of people returning to their homes , the rest from the daily routine and focused now on how to manage the family budget exhausted to the Christmas holidays . States in which the economy depends heavily on tourism , such as Spain , Greece , Croatia and Turkey to balance the tourist season , as foreign tourists visiting the country , as they have spent and how their economies have benefited this time .
Croatia , for example , expects that this year there were 12 million foreign tourists ( this excludes the border entry and exit , but sleeping in hotels and private accommodation ) and to have received 7 billion euros . Greece hit by major economic crisis this year has seen a huge increase in the number of tourists .
Albania and Kosovo are also gradually become heavily dependent on tourism . But the tourism , with some exceptions in the case of Albania , is not the same as other places mentioned . Tourism in Albania and in Kosovo is characterized by seasonal arrival in Kosovo of those who call " migrants, " while in Albania , even today , the majority living in Italy and Greece now called " refugees " .
The economy of Albania and Kosovo now depend on how many years the diaspora . For this analysis are numerous and diaspora without these two poor countries would be able to one day even greater poverty . Calculated according to EU figures , the EU countries and Switzerland , live more than Albanians in Kosovo . The largest number of Albanians from Albania to Italy and Greece , while those from Kosovo to Germany and Switzerland .
Switzerland can not even be said that the European Union countries live more than Albanians in Kosovo . Albanians are counted in the United States of America , Canada and Australia this number increases significantly . With all major prejudices still exist for those Albanians are more or less well integrated , work and earn mainly to support their families and save at least once a year to make a pilgrimage to the birthplace or birthplace of parents already in the them .
A Turkish colleague a few years ago told me that if you calculate GDP per capita of Turks living in Western Europe it would be greater than the whole Turkey . It is difficult to make such calculations , but in the case of Kosovo and Albania can be said that the income of the diaspora from these countries can probably be larger than the total population living in Kosovo and Albania .
An average salary in Switzerland is at least ten times greater than in Kosovo , although we should not forget the biggest expenses of life in this rich country .
So the diaspora coming home is undoubtedly a great asset to the economies of Kosovo and Albania . If you ask them how many of them will spend say spend more than they go on a long vacation to any other destination in Spain or Turkey .
This again is true because they have to stay in the rest of Kosovo , but also visit family and friends . And it is precisely their arrival to set the criteria for important family events such as weddings , engagements , synetitë , putting the house roof and much more. Additionally whenever relatives come will always find someone to be born .
In all these cases share some ten euros , at least for the present . On festive occasions should fix hair , wash the car , buy shoes , dresses with color basma the vizllueshme and what they can not find in Europe , at least not at that price . Many now also regulate teeth in Kosovo and Albania , because it falls far cheaper in the West do not always cover insurance and dental cosmetic adjustments .
Why spend more than you had gone somewhere else . But coming to Kosovo is a sort of satisfaction as to meet relatives so sometimes to show that they are found in the West have reached a good standard and good .
So during the summer quickened slightly households citizens of Kosovo and Albania . Restaurants have more work than in any other period of the year , dentists , auto repair shops , jewelry retailers with national symbols , petrol pumps , seamstresses , taxi drivers , singers and others . Marriage halls are full .
Most say that the level of Dukagjinit happens often intermarry to wait in front of a hotel to await the end weddings of others who have started earlier . Now even weddings are made in three shifts so great is the demand .
The summer season , at least in Kosovo , marks a kind of " transitional period " if we can say with a language of football . Many young people from Kosovo betrothed and married with young people who already have citizenship in Switzerland , Germany or any other country in Western Europe . There are very few weddings where both the spouses are from Kosovo and will continue conjugal life in Kosovo .
Before engagements , as in football transitional period , " scouts " should have done their work , have found potential candidates . This role play less " MSITT " more traditional aunts , aunts , Mora, uncles and family relatives . There is no more need to go to church for the " Great Lady Day " as Surroi describes in his novel " Billionaire " , but now also meet in restaurants , beaches and pools where the potential analysis can be much lighter .
When coming July and August is the time of signing contracts and realization of transfers , in this case, going to Switzerland and Germany where he awaits a new life and a potential career. So break the isolation of Kosovar freedom of movement that are imposed by Europe and find ways to get to these places . This year saw a case that could possibly be sui generis , a young woman from Kosovo was engaged to a Frenchman , who now expected to leave France and decided to live in Kosovo .
A young girl living in Germany , which was interested fejonte a guy from Kosovo , when he said that the condition will fejohej to live in Kosovo , lost forever and with it the chance to earnestly significantly reduced potential to find a " good guy " !
Kosovo and Albania should be aware of the potential of the diaspora , especially that of Kosovo, which is concentrated in the richest countries of the world , the most advanced and the best system of education , such as Switzerland , Germany , Austria , Belgium and Sweden . Although they come in Kosovo in their country now needs to develop a strategy to continue to attract to come .
They should be seen as compatriots who come to their country , but as each tourist who benefits from the country's economy . For many years, Kosovo , Albania and to some extent , can not count on such a tourism development which would bring millions of tourists to our country . Even in Albania , which has tremendous potential , foreign tourists are really rare . Many vehicles are seen on the Albanian coast with plates of Italy and Germany , speaking tourists heard these languages, but they are neither German nor Italian .
Are mainly Kosovo Albanians from Albania Germany or Italy , and many of them already with their children do not speak Albanian . In Croatia, 95 percent of the tourists are foreign to the sea , while in Albania swell the number of foreigners , such as account Kosovars , Albanians and Macedonian diaspora members who already have foreign citizenship .
Dependence of Kosovo and the Albanian diaspora will continue much longer . Kosovars , concentrated in Western Europe , mainly in Germany and Switzerland , have more or less sure of their place of work and social welfare for a while , because their economies despite ongoing crises other parts of Europe .
In a more difficult position are our fellow Albania , working in Greece gripped by crisis and in Italy , which also is a permanent risk of crisis . But with their money , if they send to their relatives as social assistance , which was absent from the state , whether spent during their stay in the home , generated an important economic activity .
Kosovo and Albania should better exploit the potential of the diaspora , and the financial , but also the human future . It is not enough to pay the relevant ministries posters setting where fellow welcome and desired to be limited programs in folklore .
The last time the branches and sub-branches of political parties , various funds , collected through diaspora funds for its own use . Now is the time to be used for Diaspora better ties with the countries where they live , be stimulated tourists will continue to come and spend money and , if they interest , and invest .
