There is a certain amount of cynicism in the Law on the Use of Languages. Generally, all Kosovo legislation sets out the high level of guarantees and rights that communities can have. The problem is that these guarantees and rights have not been implemented in practice, said Ognjen Gogić, manager of the project “Creating Bilingual Kosovo” implemented by the NGO AKTIV, in the second episode of the podcast “My language, my right”.

The dialogue between Pristina and Belgrade, which goal was to solve the problems of the citizens, begun in Brussels in March 2011. Ten years later, today in Sporazoom, we are talking about the results of the dialogue and the prospects of its continuation after the early parliamentary elections in Kosovo. The show is hosting Bodo Weber, a senior associate of the Policy of Democratization Council in Berlin, Nenad Đurđević, an advisor to the President of Serbian Chambre of Commerce, and Veton Surroi, a publicist and journalist.

In accordance with the Agreement on the Finalization of the Implementation of the Agreement on Freedom of Movement from 2011 and signed by Prishtinë/Priština and Belgrade in Brussels on the 14^th of September 2016, Kosovo is obligated to extend the validity of ‘KS’ registration plates for a period of five years. That same agreement requires the signatories to re-consider this issue after the 14^th of September 2021, under the supervision and mediation of the European Union.

In the new Sporazoom show, we talk about the political situation in Kosovo after the early parliamentary elections, with a special emphasis on participation of the non-majority communities. We analyze what kind of changes would the new election winner, Albin Kurti, bring when it came to Pristina – Belgrade relations, if he managed to form the new government. Our guests are President of the Center for Foreign Policy in Belgrade Dragan Đukanović, Editor of “Demokracia” Portal in Pristina Ardian Arifaj, and Editor-in-chief of the Radio Goraždevac Darko Dimitrijević.    

The first in a series of trainings for civil society organizations from the municipalities of Gnjilan, Lipljan, Strpce, Peja, Leposavic was held within the ALVED project.

Just as the victory of the Self-Determination Movement (Vetevendosje) in the resent Kosovo elections was expected, so it should be the shift in Albin Kurti’s position on his “unrealistic political goals”. As the most plausible candidate for the Kosovo Prime Minister, Kurti will reconsider his attitude regarding the exclusion of the Srpska List from the future Government and the marginalisation of the dialogue with Belgrade, it has been concluded during the debate “What After the Elections?”.
