Today, we discussed an issue that directly affects Albanian youth in the Preševo Valley – equal opportunities for employment in public institutions, including the police and fire service.
As a youth organisation, we believe that every young person should have an equal opportunity to apply and be evaluated based on their abilities and merit, regardless of ethnic background.
One of the challenges raised is also knowledge of the Serbian language. It is important to acknowledge the reality that some Albanian young people do not speak Serbian at the required level. However, this should not simply become a barrier – institutions should provide more opportunities to learn and improve language skills through courses, training and practical experience.
Integration is not built by closing doors, but by creating opportunities.
As Youth Trails, we will continue to support young people, equality, non-discrimination and their active participation in society. 🤝
