The Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti together with the ambassador of the European Union in Kosovo, Aivo Orav, have visited some of the 14 old houses that are being restored within the project "Cultural heritage as a driver of economic revival in Janjevë", this project is financed by the European Union and the Ministry of Culture and implemented by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). In addition to this visit, the head of the Kosovar executive, together with the head of the EU Office in Kosovo, Avio Orav, also participated in the opening of the Janjevë Fair, "Welcome to Janjevë", where artisans from this region presented various foods and clothing work tools. The Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, said that the government through three ministries is investing in Janjevë. The head of the Kosovar executive emphasized that through the restoration of the houses in Janjevë, this town is being restored to its former splendor and economic vitality. Kurti underlined that the project for the restoration of houses is not only a physical and infrastructural intervention, but is an indicator of the commitment to the preservation and cultivation of the cultural heritage and its return to well-being for the people and economic development for the country. "Through the investments made, the centuries-old old houses of this town are being restored to their former glory and, along with this, the economic vitality. The restored houses will be ready to serve either for housing, hostels, gastronomy and sale of local products produced by the farmers and artisans of this settlement. These projects are not only physical and infrastructural interventions, they are an indication of our commitment and dedication to the preservation and cultivation of cultural heritage and its return to well-being for the people and economic development for the country. After the complete completion of the works, the historical center of Janjeva will be transformed into an attractive destination", he said. The Ambassador of the European Union in Kosovo, Aivo Orav, said that today's fair in Janjevë is good proof that the traditions of the Croats can still be revived and even provide jobs. Orav hopes that Janjeva will become a tourist destination and an opportunity for citizens to return. "It is rich in culture, and the remains of the natural heritage of the old town of Janjeva are marked under the temporary protection of cultural heritage, Janjeva was known for its artisans, merchants and founders, and this is the village that still hosts a small community of Kosovo Croats. So, taking into account all this, this is the reason why the European Union together with the Government of Kosovo financed this project. And today's fair here is good proof that Croatian traditions can still be revived and even provide jobs. So, the project financed by the European Union together with the Government of Kosovo will end today, but I really hope that we can continue and that Janjeva will become a destination for many tourists, and why not some of those who have left will return" , he said. The permanent representative of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in Kosovo, Nuno Queiros, said that through the project entrusted to them by the EU, the foundations for a brighter future for Janjeva and Kosovo have been laid. Queiros emphasized that UNDP remains committed to preserving and promoting cultural heritage and empowering communities in Kosovo. "I would like to emphasize that this is not only about physical realization, it is about working with the community, it is about collective efforts to allow them to acquire new skills and unlock wider opportunities for their future, for their socio-economic development. And that is why we are here today as a celebration of cultural richness and unity and providing a platform for local artisans and producers to showcase their outstanding work and strengths that connect within the community. A word for them, they have worked hard to be here today, it is not an easy process, and all the artisans, all the producers, all those who are involved in this process, we think we have arrived here as if by magic and everything is ready, but there are months of work and it is not finished yet; 12 months….We really look forward to your continued support in this incredible journey that has just begun. I think that together we have laid the foundations for a brighter future for Janjeva and Kosovo, and we as UNDP remain deeply committed to the preservation and promotion of cultural heritage, the empowerment of communities and the development of cultural tourism throughout Kosovo," he said. . The Ambassador of Croatia in Kosovo, Danijela Barisic, said that the Government of Kosovo is trying to make Croats stay in Kosovo. According to her, the survival of the Croatian community in Kosovo is important not only for Croats, but also for Kosovo. "I thank the Government of Kosovo for making an effort so that the Croats, as a small community, stay here, of course with the Croatian Government, because only together, because I see that here there are different nationalities, of different religions, but all live together and all live well, and only thus together can we progress.
