New Generation of Kosovo’s Young Politicians Graduate
Thirty-four young politicians from 18 political parties were recently honored at a ceremony which marked the completion of the USAID-supported Party Training Academy in Kosovo.
"Never has your political party been more in need of your participation than now. Party officials have to work in two directions: building Kosovo's young political institutions and representing citizens' needs. You, as the future leaders of your parties, will need to be skillful in supporting
both those tracks," said Dr. Michael Farbman, USAID/Kosovo Mission Director, at the ceremony.
Organized by the National Democratic Institute (NDI) with support from USAID, the Party Training Academy is designed to provide political parties with trained individuals who are prepared to act as party staff and/or party organizers at all levels of the political organization. This is the fourth class to graduate from the Academy.
The Academy started as a pilot project with two major Albanian political parties and has since expanded to include eight ethnic Albanian political parties and eight political parties that represent minority communities.
