Kosovo has two official languages at the central level – Albanian and
Serbian – while at the local level, the Turkish language is in official
use in Prizren district. The show will point out the level of
implementation of language usage in practice. What are the
practical barriers to fully implementing the law on language usage? How
does the Governmental Commission for Languages function in monitoring
the implementation of this law? How content are the non-Albanian
communities with the situation of their native language usage in
Kosovo?
