A group of 12 postgraduate students from Master Program of Security, Defence Policy and Diplomacy, University of Durham, visited the Kosovar Center for Security Studies. Their purpose for visiting KCSS was to get introduced closely with the general activities of the KCSS as the only think tank in Kosovo covering specifically security sector. The group of students were able to get familiarized with KCSS by its main senior officials, including the Executive Director, Florian QEHAJA and Head of Programme and Research, Armend MUJA. They presented briefly the general activities conducted by KCSS so far and its role in the local, regional and international level focusing in the security sector policy making processes.
Students were able also to ask different questions about the political and institutional security situation in Kosovo. The cooperation activities between KCSS and the University of Durham date from 2009. As a product of this cooperation, until now KCSS has provided with internship opportunity more than 5 students from Durham University. Also, there is a great willingness between KCSS and University of Durham to continue with this productive cooperation in the future.
In conclusion, the KCSS team would like to thank these students for expressing their willingness to visit the centre. KCSS continues to support the development of research capacities in practice
