The Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, has stated that the Government of Kosovo this year has financially supported students with 3 million euros in five different scholarship schemes, at all levels, and that this support will increase every year because they have noticed that the effects of this support are returning to successful results.

Kurti at the Mathematical Olympiad of Kosovo, in which about 500 students who have been selected as the most successful from all the municipalities of Kosovo are participating, said that mathematics is not only a subject but is a universal language that transcends borders, cultures and identities.

He said that from today's competition, he is convinced that there will be winners who will represent our country in competitions with peers from other countries around the world and will bring many medals.

According to him, in 2023, the Government has allocated 1,882 scholarships for girls studying in the field of science, technology, and mathematics.

Meanwhile, the president of the Association of Mathematicians of Kosovo, Valdete Rexhëbeqaj-Hamiti, said that today the best from all the municipalities of Kosovo will compete.

She added that after a continuous commitment, Kosovo has won the right to organize the 14th Mathematical Olympiad for girls "European Girl's Mathematical Olympiad", which will be held in 2025.

Rexhëbeqaj-Hamiti emphasized that winning the right to organize this competition for 2025 is an extraordinary achievement for Kosovo and a clear proof that Kosovo has the professional and organizational capacities to be the leader of the most prestigious international events.

Meanwhile, the rector at the University of Prishtina, Qerim Qerimi emphasized that the Mathematical Olympiad of Kosovo is a prestigious competition for pre-university students in the country from the field of mathematics.

He added that among more than 100 countries, Kosovo has been participating in this Olympics since 2011, for which he added that since then the Kosovo team has won two Olympic medals.

Those present were also greeted by the Minister of Education, Arbërie Nagavci, who said that support will continue for students who will represent Kosovo in various international competitions.

Otherwise, for the 16th time in a row, the Mathematical Olympiad of Kosovo is being held, where for the first time the students of the 7th and 8th grades are also participating.

From the Mathematical Olympiad of Kosovo, which is organized by the Association of Mathematicians of Kosovo, with the support of the Ministry of Education, Science, Technology and Innovation, a team of 6 students will be selected to represent the state of Kosovo in the 65th International Mathematical Olympiad - IMO 2024, which will be held in Bath, United Kingdom from 11. 07. 2024, until 24. 07. 2024, where Kosovo participates for the fourteenth time as a member with rights to complete.

From this Olympiad, the team of four girls is selected to represent the state of Kosovo in the 13th European Mathematics Olympiad for Girls - EGMO 2024, which will be held in the city of Tskaltubo, in Georgia, from 11.04.2024 to 19.04.2024.
