Kosovo Wants to Play

Dear friend,

First of all, the team of Kosovo 2.0 wants to wish you a happy new year, plenty of adventures and good moments ahead. Secondly, we want to tell you, as one of our big supporters of our "Kosovo wants to play" project, that we know we finished the year without doing one thing we said we'd do: publish our 'Sports' magazine edition. We want to inform you why and when it will be published, because we haven't cancelled our plans!

When we contacted our printer house back in October, they informed us that it would be impossible for them to print the magazine in December, as planned. Therefore, we had to re-schedule the launch of the magazine, which now is set to be launching by end of February, beginning of March.

We took advantage of this change of plans to invest more time in the production of stories for this upcoming issue, and many stories have been already filed and are in editing process. Indeed, this change of plans has given us space to update our table of contents, since Kosovo will play at the next Olympics! 

In the meantime, did you know that a Kosovar martial arts expert is also learning how to use this sport for the movies? Or the story of how Kosovo got to be part of the International Olympic Committee? Or how an international NGO is using sports to bring together children of all Kosovo communities? We will get to know better footballer brothers Granit and Taulant Xhaka, as well as the relationship between Judo World Champion Majlinda Kelmendia and her coach Driton Kukaj. We have also learned about the challenges the youngest champions of Kosovo confront in their everyday.

This and much, much more, soon to come! 

We will keep you updated with our progress, and hopefully next time we write to you it will be for the announcement of the launch of our magazine. We'll keep working on it… 

In the meantime, 

Have a great start of the year!

Kosovo 2.0
