During this weekend, from October 4 to 6, the 5th seminar was held, which coincides with the last seminar of the 22nd generation of the Political School of PIPS. The topic of this seminar was "Political Communication, Disinformation, and Participation", whereas an element there was more work in groups and more practical topics.

This weekend, from 20 to 22 September, we held the 4th PIPS Policy School Seminar with the 22nd generation, which had the theme 'Sustainable Development - Policies, Institutions, and Governance'. The seminar had lectures and discussions about the economy, sustainable development and effective governance for the progress of Kosovo.

The seminar brought interesting topics to the participants, where they had the opportunity to explore different development models with Mr. Adri Nurellari and new perspectives on the economy with Mr. Edison Jakurti. We also discussed the importance of effective governance for economic growth with Mr. Shpend Ahmeti, and the key role of the rule of law in economic development with Mr. Dastid Pallaska.

Other sessions highlighted Kosovo's path towards EU integration and regional cooperation, with valuable insights from Mr. Artan Çollaku and Mrs. Sytrime Dervisholli, as well as the importance of non-formal education and ICT in Kosovo by Mr. Shpend Lila.

This past weekend, from August 30th to September 1st, we were proud to host the Regional Transitional Justice Seminar in cooperation with BFPE Foundation. The event, which was organized under the EU Support to Confidence Building in the Western Balkans, which is funded by the European Union (EU) and implemented by the United Nations Development Programme - UNDP, gathered 40 dedicated participants from Kosovo and Serbia.

This seminar provided a vital platform for dialogue and understanding. By focusing on transitional justice and the collective memory of the 1999 conflict in Kosovo, we encouraged an environment of open communication to learn more about the fundamentals of transitional justice and exchange views on how to deal with the past responsively.

In the 2024 edition of the School of Politics, PIPS introduced a seminar focusing on dealing with the past and transitional justice.

This weekend (10-12 May), PIPS held the second seminar of the School of Politics, which was also the inaugural seminar on Transitional Justice. The seminar aimed to shape future leaders to be open-minded and inclusive, engage with policy matters and understand the importance of addressing past conflicts. Participants learned about truth commissions, criminal prosecutions, reparations, and institutional reforms as tools to prevent the recurrence of past injustices. The seminar explored the complexities of addressing historical injustices and balancing accountability with reconciliation.

The activity was made possible with the assistance of the regional project “EU Support for Confidence Building in the Western Balkans”, which is financed by the European Union (EU) and implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

U izdanju Škole politike za 2024. godinu, PIPS je uveo seminar koji se fokusira isključivo na suočavanje s prošlošću i tranzicionu pravdu.

Ovog vikenda (10-12. maj) PIPS je održao drugi seminar Škole politike, koji je ujedno bio i inauguracioni seminar o tranzicionoj pravdi. Seminar je imao za cilj da oblikuje buduće lidere da budu otvoreni i inkluzivni, da se bave političkim pitanjima i razumeju važnost rešavanja prošlih sukoba. Učesnici su naučili o komisijama za istinu, krivičnim gonjenjima, reparacijama i institucionalnim reformama kao alatima za sprečavanje ponavljanja prošlih nepravdi. Seminar je istraživao složenost rješavanja istorijskih nepravdi i balansiranja između odgovornosti i pomirenja.

Aktivnost je omogućena uz pomoć regionalnog projekta „Podrška EU za izgradnju poverenja na Zapadnom Balkanu“, koji finansira Evropska unija (EU), a sprovodi Program Ujedinjenih nacija za razvoj (UNDP).
