Kurti visits the French Institute: It is a new bridge between Kosovo and France

The Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, together with the Minister of Education, Arbërie Nagavci, visited the French Institute. They were received by the French Ambassador in Kosovo, Olivier Guerot, where they saw closely the activities that take place in this institute.

Prime Minister Albin Kurti said that this institute is a new bridge between Kosovo and France and an extraordinary window for learning the French language and French art and culture.

He promised that he will visit this institute again and that he will learn the French language.

“Learning the French language is a great advantage. All those who like French literature, listen to French music, go to French movies, it is good to know French. I encourage public officials of our state, but also students, professors and entrepreneurs to consider visiting the French Institute and learning the French language here. It is an extraordinary window into the pinnacle of quality art and culture. The French Institute in Kosovo within the French Embassy is a new bridge between Kosovo and France, between our languages and between our people. I will come back here, because whoever comes once, it is impossible not to come back again”, he said.

Meanwhile, the French ambassador, Olivier Guerot, said that the institute deepens the cooperation between the two countries in the field of culture and art.

“What we’re doing today is the launch of the Language courses and we wanted to show this to the prime minister. The Institute is doing three things, it’s a partner for cooperation, we have a half million euros program for instance with the film festival in ‘Antibar’, it’s also doing cultural activities and it will do language courses starting mid-september, and that’s the reason of this this happening”, said Ambassador Guerot.

Prime Minister Albin Kurti, but also the French ambassador Guerot, refused to talk about other political topics, including the Iber bridge, as well as the closure of parallel Serbian structures in the north.

The French Institute was inaugurated in March 2024.
