I was delighted to open the 6th OSCE Kosovo #YouthAcademy with Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport Hajrulla Çeku today. Aimed at empowering young minds + creating a pool of human rights advocates, the Academy brings together 60 young women + men from different backgrounds. Inspiring!

I was lucky to have been invited to participate in “Let’s Play Together” football competition organized by the Local Public Safety Committee in Bërnicë e Poshtme/ Donja Brnjica on Sunday. A highlight community policing initiative supported by OSCE Kosovo.

Reflections after conclusion of OSCE Kosovo Girls’ Talks: osce.org/mission-in-kos…

I am horrified and incredibly saddened by today’s news from Peja/Pec of yet another femicide.

What a privilege to observe young women @ OSCE Kosovo #GirlsTalks come into their own as change agents for their communities. They spent 5 days peer-to-peer learning on teambuilding, participation, leadership+media literacy, facilitated by #DialogueAcademy alumnae. Inspirational!

We at OSCE Kosovo support the Language Commissioner in the Office of the PM in determining respect for language compliance under applicable legislation. Steps to replace signs showing place names in official languages should follow consultation with his Office.

Amb Michael Davenport met newly elected #KPC Chair Ardian Hajdaraj & D/Chair Jehona Makolli Grantolli. Discussed non-majority community representation, Chief Prosecutor appt. issue & Joint Statement of Commitment. Reiterated Mission’s cont. support towards strengthening rule of law.

I welcome today’s government decision to instruct the Cadastral Agency to implement the 2016 Constitutional Court ruling concerning 24 hectares of land by registering ownership of the Visoki Dečani monastery, as required. Implementation will maintain respect for the rule of law.

Ramadan Kareem to all Muslim friends and partners. May this be a joyous month filled with blessings, happiness and positivity.
