On the second day of her stay in Kosovo, the administrator of the American Agency for International Development (USAID), Samantha Power, took a walk with a group of young people in Germia park in Pristina.
She said that politicians in Kosovo and Serbia have to make difficult decisions about creating prospects for young people.
The head of USAID said that the youth in Kosovo and Serbia should not be hindered and stopped by history to reach their potential.
"Of course there's a lot of talk about politics, and I'm here and we're going to meet with the prime minister of Kosovo and the president of Kosovo, and of course we're going to dive into talking about political agreements, implementation, and all that. But it's really important to bring it back to what matters most, which is creating a world for the next generation, and the generation after that, that is more peaceful and prosperous than the world we live in now. It's these young people who give me hope, but also these young people who really want normality in their lives, they want basic freedoms, basic dignity, and I really admire them because they seek hard truths, they know the perspective of others and they don't they want to let history hold them back and stop them from reaching their potential. So I'm really inspired by these discussions. I hope that politicians everywhere can make difficult decisions with young people like these in mind," Power emphasized.
During the day, Administrator Power will also meet the Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, for the announcement of the first solar energy auction in the country.
She will also visit the Graçanica Monastery to learn more about cultural heritage and history.
