Ambassador Cliff said: 鈥淎griculture in Kosovo is not seen as 鈥榗ool鈥� thing to do, which is the opposite in my country.

Finally, President of the Kosovo Chamber of Commerce Gerxhaliu explained that Kosovo needs to strengthen 鈥渇our E鈥檚: its path to Europe, Education, Economy and Environment鈥�. This project tackles all these. Mr Gerxhaliu thanked the UK Government for its support.
