Prishtina, 4 February 2026
The acting Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, hosted a meeting with students from the “7 Shtatori” High School in Pristina and the “Vëllazërim Bashkim” High School in Ulcinj.
The students discussed with Prime Minister Kurti education in Kosovo, employment opportunities, the benefits of vocational schools, and the importance of dual education.
The Prime Minister spoke about education as a means of building understanding among young people in the region and the role of high schools in creating safe spaces for the exchange of ideas, cooperation, and respect for cultural diversity.
He added that the cooperation between schools in Kosovo and Montenegro creates concrete experiences such as the one between “7 Shtatori” and “Vëllazërim Baksimi”, which contributes to building bridges between our young people, where students even live with each other’s families during visits to Prishtina and Ulcinj.
Technology and digitalization and their impact on life, education of young people and the education system as a whole were discussed. Special emphasis was also placed on schools as a factor in the connection between education and the labor market. The Prime Minister emphasized that the Government of the Republic of Kosovo prioritizes education, especially vocational education, underlining that young people must be up to date with the demands of the labor market.
The Director of the “7 Shtatori” school, Ms. Hatixhe Ratkoceri, expressed gratitude for the continuous support of the Ministry of Education, Science, Technology and Innovation (MASHTI) and the Prime Minister’s Office for the building of the new school, which meets all the requirements and needs for a quality learning process. She also emphasized that since 2022, when the implementation of dual education began, young people’s interest in vocational schools has increased significantly.
This visit was carried out within the framework of the cooperation between these two schools, through the Superschools project, supported by the Regional Youth Cooperation Office (RYCO).
