Kosovo’s wealth still buried underground

Kosovo’s natural resources have always been seen as a potential driver for the country’s emerging economy, but numerous governance and legislation issues have made investing in the sector almost impossible. 

Discrimination in the name of neutrality

With dreams of becoming a soldier, a teacher or a graphic designer, women in Kosovo have spoken out against the discrimination they have faced pursuing their careers while wearing a hijab, and the policies and social stigmas that continue to stand in their way.

A family denied

In Kosovo, people in same-sex relationships are still legally barred from marrying and starting a family. But for women like Diella and Myrvete, both of whom are in same-sex relationships, the state’s denial of their rights is no longer a situation they are willing to endure.

Wounds that don’t heal

After suffering injuries at work, many of Kosovo’s workers are left to cover expenses and deal with the long-term effects alone, with the absence of state protection leaving them at the mercy of their employers.

Between two fires

Kosovo’s firefighters say they are working in very difficult conditions, with the dangers of outdated safety equipment coupled with low salaries, confusion over institutional responsibility and a lack of health insurance coverage.
