Harry Bajraktari

The story of an American dream come true, the making of a businessman, philanthropist and influential Albanian figure in Washington, D.C.

It reads like any American dream come true, the story of 13-year-old Harry Bajraktari and his family, who came to the United States in 1970 to chase a better life in the Promised Land. “My parents, Mete and Ziza Bajraktari, met and got married in Kosova during difficult times in a country immersed in political turmoil, persecution, genocide, and economic crises, but they had a vision for a better future for themselves and their kids,” says Bajraktari.
