Lighter Gitija had worked as air controller in Afghanistan. For over a year he worked at the Marmal camp in the town of Mazar-e Sharif. Despite being a war zone, the work in Afghanistan is totally normal.
A day of mine was very common. I've never been off base, I've landed at the base, all the time I've spent on the base, and when the time has come to come on vacation or come back, again from the base I'm back, he told RTK.

“I have often heard about these events in Afghanistan when I spoke to my family. I can tell if I've read the news, so I've heard it in Camp”, explains Gitija.

There are thousands of Kosovars working in Afghanistan over the years.
In 2011, the GAP Institute had conducted a research under which total Kosovars from Afghanistan receive between 50m and 55m euros within the year.
