...Economist Vladimir Kvint's Fulbright project took him to the Albanian city of Vlora, a strategically important seaport in a country struggling with high unemployment, widespread corruption and a totalitarian past. Pedestrians, motorists, donkeys and cows converged on the same busy arteries, and museums closed on weekends. But at the Vlora Technological University, where Kvint lectured and met with the country's top government officials, central bankers and journalists, he had an opportunity that most educators can only dream of-to as he put it, "consult, and be useful."
