Dr Richard Caplan, Lecturer and Official Fellow at the university’s Department of Politics and International Relations wrote to BIRN that:
“There happened to be a delegation of some 25 deputy permanent representatives to the EU visiting Oxford and they watched the debate and took part in the discussion that followed. Many of them commented on how impressed they were with BIRN’s high level of journalistic
professionalism.”
The “Life in Kosovo” debate series, aired bi-weekly on RTK and sponsored by the Balkan Trust for Democracy, aim to open up a discussion on taboo issues in Kosovan society, such as the question of Kosovan nationality versus Albanian ethnicity, the existence of party-affiliated intelligence structures and the presence of corruption and nepotism in public institutions.
