Whose benefits are overwhelming, we consider that the furniture of young people in Europe is extremely important for their personal formation and professional establishment. So we also finance thousands of scholarships and grants to study abroad or to represent us in events, races in order to return and make even greater contributions to Kosovo.

So, we're determined to work on getting them back, not having to go to those who plan something like that, but rather not by what we say, but by the results we have.
