Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung
Overview
The KAS is a political foundation, closely associated with values of Christian Democratic Politics. As co-founder of the CDU (Christian Democratic Union) and the first Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, Konrad Adenauer (1876-1967) united Christian-social, conservative and liberal traditions.
The Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung is committed to fostering democracy and the rule of law, to implementing social and market-economic structures and to promoting human rights. With its worldwide networks to the political and social elites and with its long-term partner structures, it participates in shaping policy in developing and emerging countries.
The Konrad Adenauer Foundation opened its Skopje office on 1 July 2000 and a small local office in Pristine in 2007. Since then various seminars, workshops and conferences were organized throughout the countries.
Human beings in their distinctive dignity and with their rights and responsibilities have always been at the heart of our work. We are guided by the conviction that human beings are the starting point in the effort to bring about social justice and democratic freedom while promoting sustainable economic activity.
