Goals of NGO Autokton are preservation
and promotion of history and cultural heritage as well as the improvement of the rights of Albanians in Montenegro (AiM).
As autochthonous people, with unique
language and culture, AiM are especially vulnerable to
assimilation. If we add to the mix emigration and shortcomings in legislation, education and respect of human and minority rights, preserving the identity of AiM presents a challenge for the whole society.
In order
to preserve the multi-ethnic character of Montenegro additional effort will be required from all the relevant members of society and it is our mission to encourage and assist any such activity. NGO Autokton also focuses its activities on reducing the ethnic distance and promoting intercultural dialogue in Montenegrin
society.
