Projects Help Improve Living Conditions for Kosovo Serbs
In June 2008, two new projects in Kosovo Serb villages, including the rehabilitation of the Kralj Milutin School in Gracanice/a, and the construction of a playground in Dobrotin [Lipjan/Lipljan] were dedicated.
The projects are part of an ongoing effort to improve basic infrastructure in minority areas and facilitate community integration in Kosovo. USAID has been working closely with communities to assess their needs and develop projects that have an impact on the life of residents in these villages.
"Education is key to the development of children and we are proud that we have been able to help you so you can study in better facilities", said Tina Kaidanow, Charge D'Affaires of the U.S. Embassy in Kosovo, to the children who performed at the dedication event in Gracanice/a.
The total cost of the projects dedicated was $254,020. The projects are part of USAID's Community Enhancement Development Project, implemented in partnership with the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
