Justice, environment & EU integration – What matters most to Kosovo’s youth?

European Talks

Welcome to the fourth episode of "REACHing Citizens", part of the European project REACH – Reinventing Engagement through Affirmative Citizen Consultations, which aims to strengthen citizen participation in shaping policies related to the environment, EU integration, and the rule of law. This initiative is funded by the European Commission under the Citizens, Equality, Rights, and Values (CERV) program. In this episode, host Vesa Kroqi, sits down with Agnesa Bytyci, a young researcher and activist from Pristina who participated in the recent REACH local consultation event in Kosovo. Together, they discuss key topics covered at the event, including judicial independence, corruption, EU integration, and environmental challenges in the region. Agnesa shares her insights on how young people in Kosovo perceive the justice system and the country’s European path, as well as their growing awareness of environmental issues. The conversation also explores the impact of such events in encouraging civic engagement and creating a platform for open dialogue among youth. How can young people shape Kosovo’s future? What concerns them the most about the rule of law? And how can digital platforms help improve collaboration and knowledge-sharing? Tune in to find out!
