The nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize of Feride Rushiti and the KRCT is an appreciation for Kosovo, considers the director of this organization. She said that it is natural that Serbia will react, since it has not yet acknowledged the war crimes in Kosovo. Director Feride Rushiti expects institutions to play their role in lobbying.

The Kosovo Center for the Rehabilitation of Torture Survivors (KRRT) and its director Feride Rushiti have been nominated for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize. This was done at the proposal of the Swedish parliament member, Magnus Jacobsson.

Speaking to the media, Director Rushiti said she hopes this nomination will raise the voice of victims of sexual violence internationally.

"This nomination came as a complete surprise. I actually met the person who nominated us, the Swedish MP, Jacobsson, two years ago in a chance meeting, who was coming to Kosovo to meet both politicians and civil society organizations, and there, for an hour, I had the opportunity to exchange experiences, to share current developments in the KRCT, but also the challenges and difficulties that we encounter on the ground... What does this nomination mean for me personally and for the KRCT: I think it is an appreciation not only for us as an organization, for our work and contribution for 25 years in the cause of survivors of sexual violence, but it is an appreciation for Kosovo that is being made with this nomination," she said.

Considering the cause of this center, Rushiti said he expects Serbia to attempt to obstruct this process.

The Director of the Kosovo Center for the Rehabilitation of Torture Survivors, Feride Rushiti, said that she expects institutions to lobby in this process.

In 1979, Mother Teresa received the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, Norway.
