The possibilities for free and multi-directional mobility of intellectual capital, that is, the drain of creative capital, is a crucial issue of development in every society at the beginning of the third millennium, especially for small states!
The "spiritus movens" of contemporary social progress is no longer the economy of production and trade, but the economy of ideas and creativity. The keys that open the door to this new economy are education, culture, and science!
The most dramatic problem in the Western Balkans (Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Montenegro, Macedonia, and Albania) is a large-scale outflow of intellectual capital, which is the best social resource that the region has at its disposal today.

The Brain Drain and Trans-border Mobility in the Arts and Culture of the Western Balkans. By Dimitrije Vujadinovic, Balkankult Foundation
This case study was commissioned by the ERICarts Institute in 2006 for their study, MEAC I: Dynamics, Causes and Consequences of Transborder Mobility in the European Arts and Culture, undertaken for the LabforCulture, an initiative of the European Cultural Foundation.

The beginning of '90 brought political system changes in Albania, followed by social changes. Many people, including musicians went abroad. The staff of the symphonic orchestra and the opera house had been completely changed by the end of 1991.....
...All the semiprofessional orchestras in other cities were closed during that time due to the financial difficulties of that period. These organic losses to the profession were pursued by a lack of interest from young people to study music at art schools and subsequently different classes of music instruments were closed for years....
....The state withdrawal from supporting artistic events was partly substituted by other institutions such as foreign foundations, but their funding was mainly addressed to short-term initiatives and a limited number of partners and actually the support to the arts sector and especially to serious music is quite inconsiderable in relation to the necessities of that sector.....(Qazim Kallushi)
