I started with CELIM from 2009 as Project Manager in an Economic Development project for the Kosovo farmers. After successful implementation of the project, I met with Mr.Mario Prennushi who inspired me to start working on project writing together with Mr. Salimei with whom we manage to design one of the best projects in my career Fruit Processing unit “Unique”.

Then I was nominated as Celim Kosovo Country Representative, these positions gives me responsibilities and encourage to work on searching for the projects and partners in Kosovo.

Motivation was not limited only in Kosovo with my engagements time by time I expanded cooperation also with Celim Albania and from 2019 we started a initiative to establish the CELIM branch in North Macedonia. Today Celim Macedonia is a consolidated branch with office in Skopje and under implementation of the second project for the Roma population.

Working with CELIM is challenge, honor, contribution for the local populations – simply Impact to Change!

Happy anniversary of CELIMs 70 years to all of you who contributed on CELIM s growing.

I have truly enjoyed working for CELIM over the 14 years and hope for many more still to come.
