Honored to host the 🇦🇹 Ambassador to
@AustriainKosovo , Deputy Ambassador, and Head of @ADCinKosovo at Bedri Gjinaj School in Mitrovica. Together with @SyriiVizionit , MED, TPRAAN, and local schools, we discussed progress & challenges in creating #inclusiveeducation for all.📚🤝
We condemn the attack on the Ibar-Lepenac canal. The canal is essential for the water supply and for the operation of Kosovo’s biggest power plant. This attack needs to be investigated swiftly and those responsible brought to justice.
The Austrian Embassy in Pristina joins the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence.
There is #NoExcuse for violence. Together, let’s build a safer, inclusive world for all.

#Sarajevo führt heute das globale Ranking der Städte mit der stärksten Luftverschmutzung an. #Skopje, #Prishtina & #Belgrad sind auch Top-10. Als Folge sterben Tausende Menschen jedes Jahr.
Das ist mitunter das Resultat einer Politik, die die Umweltfrage negiert/vernachlässigt.

A survey under the project “Promoting Rural Women’s Empowerment in Kosovo” by UN Women & @FAO, funded by @AustrianDev - found the lack of collateral as a key barrier for rural women. Greater property ownership is vital for their financial access, independence, and development.
Today, we launched a report on rural women’s needs in South Mitrovica, Skenderaj & Istog under “Promoting Rural Women Empowerment in Kosovo” by UN Women & @FAO funded by @AustrianDev. Data spotlights key challenges & opportunities for resilient, empowered women in rural areas.
