04 June - 'Ruzhdi Berisha' high school in
Dragas
Kosovo students already study in the EU
"I was born in Italy. I lived longer in other European countries
than in Italy itself. I worked in different European countries,
France, Belgium, Netherlands, etc. The EU is this; the possibility
of moving around Europe, working or studying in another country…"
said Mr. Renzo Daviddi, Head of the European Commission Liaison
Office to Kosovo. In his visit to a high school 'Ruzhdi Berisha' in
Dragash/Dragaš, around 100 students welcomed his lecture on the
European Union.
"It started with 6 countries and now we are 27" Mr. Daviddi further
explained to students. "The economy and trade are dominant in the
relations between EU countries, but there is also a very strong
political component developed in the recent period".
Mr. Daviddi also explained to students that one of the roles of his
office is to report on political events in Kosovo and to follow up
on the process of EU integration of Kosovo. "Every year we publish a
comprehensive report where we tell what we think of the situation in
Kosovo and its perspective to advance towards the EU" he told
students.
"Yes, it is already happening" was the answer of Mr. Daviddi to a
question of whether Kosovo students can study at the EU
universities. He further explained that many Kosovo students were
given grants to study in Europe through different EU programs such
as Young Cell Scheme and Tempus.
