26 May - Economic High School Ymer Prizreni in Prizren

Will Kosovo get into the EU in my lifetime?

Deputy Czech Ambassador Jan Plesinger visited the Economic High School Ymer Prizreni in Prizren. The school educates nearly 2,000 students from Albanian, Bosniak and Turkish communities in 2. The school's facilities are designed for 600 students and average class size is 45.

We had a warm welcome from the principal who gave us a short briefing on the school, its students and its programs. Despite ongoing end of year tests, the school had gathered a group of around 35 students to follow the talk. The school had gone to some lengths to make an impression: all the students were in uniform, the classroom had lively wall displays related to business courses and the students had prepared questions.

Mr Plesinger spoke for around 25 minutes, drawing particularly on the experience of the Czech Republic as a country emerging from Communism and moving towards and then into the EU.  The Q&A session was very active and would have continued on with questions including: does Kosovo's use of the Euro help it towards the EU? What is the most important value for getting into the EU? Can Serbia stop Kosovo from getting into the EU? Will Kosovo get into the EU in my lifetime? Why has the UK not got the Euro?

What are the conditions to get into the EU?
