According to Florim Chunak, a graduate of the Orientals' branch, it is almost impossible to find a job after completing his studies, KTV reports.
He expresses indignation at how such an interesting study branch does not provide employment opportunities in the country.
But there are those who have chosen this branch with great passion to create knowledge of the culture of Oriental countries.
The chief of the Oriental branch, Isa Memish says they are working on creating better conditions for students.
He says that so far there are small numbers of students, and that's why Pristina University institutions have to work on to attract as many students as possible.
The Orientals' branch mainly deals with the study of Oriental languages, including Arabic, Turkish, Ottoman and Persian.
In 2016, this branch also established the Institute of Oriental Studies, led by Professor Muhammad Mufaku.
From the beginning of the functionalization of this branch and so far have graduated over 100 students, while only in the new academic year 2018/19 have 18 students enrolled.
