Prošle sedmice u Prištini, osnivačica i predsjednica #PCRCBiH @VelmaSaric učestvovala je na Regionalnom seminaru o tranzicijskoj pravdi „Od suočavanja s prošlošću do oblikovanja budućnosti“, koji je okupio mlade lidere, akademsku zajednicu, medijske profesionalce i predstavnike civilnog društva iz cijelog Zapadnog Balkana.

Kao govornica na sesiji „Suprotstavljeni narativi i politike sjećanja“, Velma je govorila o značaju inkluzivnih pristupa suočavanju s prošlošću u izgradnji dijaloga, priznavanja i pomirenja, te se osvrnula na način na koji osporavane interpretacije istorije i dalje oblikuju demokratski razvoj i povjerenje u regionu.

Hvala @ShkollaPolitike na pozivu!

"This is a moral and political pledge in times of division,” says PIPS Executive Director Leonora Kryeziu.

The initiative is part of NextGen Leaders: Empowering Kosovo’s Political Future, backed by @DemoFinland & MFA Finland—showing that youth can lead change in politics.

📢 Today, Sept 22, PIPS gathered the leaders of Youth Forums of Kosovo’s political parties to sign a Joint Declaration promoting a political culture of integrity—free from hate speech and misinformation during election campaigns. (a thread) 🧵

[PIPS @ShkollaPolitike]

The declaration was signed by youth forums of AAK, LDK, PDK & PSD.
Representatives emphasized:
👉 Integrity in politics (AAK)
👉 Rejecting hate speech (PDK)
👉 Positive initiatives (PSD)
👉 Overcoming political polarization (LDK)
The absence of LVV was noted as a serious gap.

A special thank you to @DemoFinland for the continuous support and belief in the power of youth dialogue. 🙏
