Today we held a public discussion with Dr. Feride Rushiti, nominee for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize. Dr. Rushiti has dedicated over two decades to supporting victims of torture, with a particular focus on civilian war victims in Kosovo.
Today we held a public discussion with Ambassador William Walker, who shared insights of his latest book on Reçak and the crimes against civilians in Kosovo - committed but denied - from Serbia, and the struggles of Kosovo-Albanians for freedom.
4/4 Through his dedication, Walker became a leading advocate for the rights of Kosovo Albanians during the war. Today we welcomed at Reporting House, a public space dedicated to Kosovo’s resistance for freedom—a chapter in history that Walker observed firsthand.
1/4 In 1998 and 1999, while the world was observing the events unfolding in Kosovo, William Walker was the first international figure to publicly label Serbia’s actions against the Kosovar population as crimes against humanity.
3/4 Walker wasited the site of the Reçak massacre, on January 1999, where 45 Albanian civilians were brutally killed. From the scene, he addressed international media, describing Serbia’s actions as “unspeakable atrocities” and “crimes against humanity.”
In 1988, Burhan Kavaja became the main director of the Trepça flotation mine. Just one year later, he and his colleagues organized one of the biggest miners' strikes in the history of modern Europe—the Trepça miners' hunger strike for Kosovo's freedom.
