OSCE: Serbs and Albanians to get to know each other better
The cooperation between the young people from Serbia and Albania contributes to better understanding between the two countries, Andrea Orizio, the head of the OSCE Mission in Belgrade, said on Thursday, the Beta news agency reported.
Speaking at the presentation of the project “In media mirror – Serb and Albanian mutual perception,” he said that the OSCE supported it because of “its regional significance.”
The project is a joint effort by European Movement in >> Pročitaj celu vest na sajtu N1 televizija << Serbia (EpuS), OSCE Mission and the Italian embassy to Belgrade.
Orizio said that another project – the exchange of journalists from Serbia and Albania – showed how the perception changed after they came to know each other better. “That (the project) was very successful.”
He added that Serbia and Albania shared the region, strategic goals and many regional worries.
“If you don’t know the others, if they remain ‘the others’, then you have a historical burden as well,” Orizio said, arguing that it was “important to get to acquaint with each other to have more balanced and better perception.”
