Vladimír Přikryl, a lover of Albania, was the guest of the WORLD podcast. He went to the land of the double-headed eagle for the first time in 2006 and has been returning there regularly since then. Not only for good coffee and mountains, but also for work. Vláďa imports Albanian specialties to the Czech Republic - olive oil, honeydew or mandarins in syrup. All in organic quality, which is natural for Albanians. In the podcast, we also thoroughly discussed Albanian history. Years ago, one of the harshest communist regimes in the world ruled here, which isolated Albania and left behind hundreds of thousands of military bunkers. Today, millions of tourists go to Albania every year to discover the beautiful beaches and the more adventurous Albanian mountains. According to Vlaď, that is where the real Albania is - just stop at a village, talk to the locals and let yourself be carried away by the spirit of the country, where coffee and rakija flow and guests have the most important position after God. You can learn even more about Albania in the entire podcast. We wish you a pleasant listening experience.
