So many countrymen have registered, deadline by August 31st

Calls in this direction for the diaspora have also prompted the country's Prime Minister, Albin Kurti and Kosovo Foreign Affairs Minister Donica Grovall, who have asked all diaspora citizens to exploit this right.

While Kastrati mentioned that some 1.2 million Kosovars live abroad, adding that the census aims to create an accurate database for them.

Kastrati: The current data we have is about 600 thousand people living outside Kosovo.

The current data that we have about 600 thousand people living outside Kosovo is registered on two databases, because it's been the way through relatives, family economies, and the online system. The diaspora census will last until August 31st, and the diaspora census is legal duty for citizens who have Kosovo citizenship, otherwise they are penalised under the law if not registered. It's also good for them, on a day in Kosovo living somewhere, living and working, and it's totally online... we're talking about the new diaspora from the 70th years, but not the diaspora that's gone ahead in Turkey or America, or other countries, because it's too big, and it's not a citizen or legal duty, those that have gone 4-5 generations, the civic duty, may have, but maybe not... without this part of the statistics is about 1.2 million that are out of Kosovo, which is known as the diaspora of 600 thousand citizens are registered... but we don't have a number of exactly 1.66666.Kastrati says.

However, there are still citizens who are not registered in the process of population registration living in the diaspora. Some of them have told Kosovo Press that they are not very interested in this process.

The fellow traveler, named Addi, who lives in Germany, says that although the subject is still under discussion with families, they have not yet decided to register.

Addy: I didn't care much about these things.

I'm not really interested in these things. We used to have this topic with the parent, but we still haven't made the decision on how to do it and what to do... And we don't know exactly how to do it”He says.

Even the other citizen who lives abroad, Besart Gashi, says he has not registered yet, until he adds that he has not been informed of the possibility to register online.

Gashi: I had no information on online recording.

I'm not registered... not that I have days (for access to online platform)“, Gashi says.

While the country's prime minister, Albin Kurti, has listed several reasons for the same to be recorded in this process, has also called on entrepreneurs to invest in Kosovo, as he says, “Kosovo is developing and advancing, and this could increase further”.

Kurti: These are reasons not only to stay in Kosovo, but also to return home.

The online registration of the license is continuing, it's open by the end of August. I call upon all our dear fellow countrymen to register those who have not already done so. We now have economic growth and institutional stability, good governance social progress, rule of law and the scope of sovereignty, free and visa free movement for many countries. These are reasons not only to stay in Kosovo but also to return home. So I urge you to continue enrolling, come back on summer vacation in Kosovo, come on vacations outside the summer season, come and work, and return to your beloved homeland in your beloved Kosovo. You who are engaged, we tell you to invest in winning, because Kosovo is developing and advancing, the countrymen are part of this success, and we can grow further”, says Kurti.

In the last census held this year, Kosovo has 1,586,659 residents, according to preliminary data from the Kosovo Statistics Agency.
