Some local leaders were honored with honorary degrees for their values in service of social peace.
This activity was repeated with the Municipality of Kumanovo in FYROM, a municipality with different ethnicities, where sometimes certain individuals nourish the spirit of separation, violence, and interethnic hatred. After a long work with the main leaders of the communities, the spirit of international and inter-religious reconciliation was achieved in this town with sporadic problems of violence. The main leaders of the municipality were evaluated with Acknowledgement titles.
