And, the Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports, Hajrullah Çeku, criticized the work that previous governments have done for young people.

In the process of drafting the Strategy, a questionnaire with young people is being carried out.

"We are seeing that there are some challenges that can be called new and that coincide with the phenomena that are happening not only in our country but also globally. So mental health, sexual harassment, gender-based violence. We know that the problems in these challenges have increased especially in the last 2-3 years", said Susuri.

Kosovo has a youth strategy which was approved in 2019 and is valid for 2023.
