All that glitters is not gold

The recognition of untold colonial stories is indeed a good step towards the evolution of colonial discourses. However, a lot remains to be done.

Get out of this jail!

It takes centuries to build the history of a country. It takes only a few events to see this same country shift from one direction to another. From democracy to populism, or worse, to dictatorship.

Happy job fair day (Sunday)! We hope that you’re doing great (coping), wherever you are at the moment… See you this time (more or less) next week :) 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. 🗞️ Incoming News this Week: Hypermobility is something that all Erasmus Mundus students are highly attracted to.
