There may be many questions emerging in your mind when thinking about the Intensive Programme (IP). Where does it take place? What is the IP paper? What does such an intensive week look like? To answer these questions, Euroculturer’s “In Focus: IP” series provides information about this special week, shares the experiences of former Euroculture students and gives tips regarding the preparation of the IP paper, all to show you that there is nothing to worry about! In this article, three Euroculture students from the 2021-2023 cohort share their experiences.

Despite its strategic position, Kosovo seems to live in a state border cage. The solution to this geographical isolation can be solved through visa liberalisation by the EU institution. Although it has been discussed for a long time, EU institutions do not seem to be fully responsive to the problem, especially considering the obstructive position of some even influential member states. The present article aims at unpacking the current situation of the visa liberalisation process, shedding light on the actual steps taken by the country to meet the criteria established by the EU and the negotiations and developments within the EU institution on the issue. Lifting those restrictions of movement could not only make life easier for the citizens but also bring Kosovo closer to the European Union.
