Balkans Group organised a focus group with young people on the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue

Prishtina, February 24, 2022

Balkans Group organised a focus group called “Youth and Kosovo-Serbia Dialogue” as part of their efforts in the Regional Cooperation and Good Neighborly Relations component. The focus group consisted of students from various study backgrounds who unanimously expressed the importance of continuing the dialogue until a final agreement is reached.

The lack of transparency and clarity in the dialogue process was raised by the participants. They pointed out that both countries have failed to properly inform their citizens about the negotiation process and outcomes, leading to increased distrust among the citizens of Kosovo and Serbia. This lack of proper communication has deepened the social divisions between the two countries.

To address these issues and promote dialogue, the young participants will be involved in the “Friends of Dialogue” campaign. This campaign aims to foster communication and understanding between Kosovo and Serbia, as well as their societies.

Overall, the focus group highlighted the need for continued dialogue, transparency, and effective communication to overcome the current situation and ensure progress and development for both Kosovo and Serbia.

This project is funded by the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Prishtina.
