"As a ministry, we do not directly cover the issue of employment, but given that young people of Kosovo belong to the young age and youth, we have foreseen in our program a spe-cial objective that has to do with training and preparation for the labor market, last week we certified about 250 young people who participated in this project", said Minister Gashi.

He also said that "The year 2019 will be the year of youth because, as we have foreseen in the new strategy for youth, for the first time we will have a youth fund that will be 1 million Euros the first of its kind in a region that has to do with youth support for entrepreneurship and employment", said Minister Gashi.

"We will change the strategy for youth, because for the last ten years everything has changed, and today technology is at the core of development, social networks have a great effect on our society, and this forces us to change the structure of the youth department in order to adapt to the circumstances and demands of young people", said Minister Gashi.

While the World Vision Director for the Western Balkans, Eljona Boqe Elmazi, said "that" the world vision is always where it is needed and we are an organization that has our children in the heart, to achieve their well-being must work well any other part of society you can forget about family, institutions so we will ex-pand our programs because we need to work with young people in Albania, Kosovo, on bonuses and other countries", said Boqe.
