Labyrinth in Kosovo
Albin Kurti’s party, Self-Determination, received the most votes in Kosovo’s regular parliamentary elections. These are the first regular elections since Kosovo’s independence in 2008. The current prime minister will have to form a coalition if he wants to retain the prime minister’s office. Analysts we spoke say that Kurti has two options, either a coalition with the opposition or with minorities. Negotiations are just beginning. In the campaign, which passed peacefully, the focus of politicians was mainly on ethnic issues, while the focus of the people, however, is on real social problems such as the economy, emigration and corruption. We talk to journalist Vjosa Cerkini in Pristina about all these issues, as well as about Kosovo’s international relations under the leadership of Albin Kurti. In Mitrovica, we spoke with political analyst Nexhmedin Spahiu, and in North Mitrovica, we asked citizens what they think about these elections.

Three Years of War – Will Ukraine Give Up Rare Earth Minerals to End the War?
Pressure is Growing for Negotiations
It's been exactly three years since the start of the war in Ukraine. After US President Donald Trump came to power, US support for Ukraine has completely changed and the pressure to start peace talks has increased. We talk to Olena Halushka from Kiev, co-founder of the International Center for Ukrainian Victory, about whether Ukrainians are ready to give up rare minerals and meet Trump's demands, as well as about public opinion in Ukraine about the pressure from the US.

As long as there are quotas and the need for special laws, we do not have gender equality
Women in the private security sector
In the first March edition of Labyrinth, we talk about women in the private security sector with the Secretary General of the Chamber of Private Security, Sanja Kermetchieva. Similar to the state, in the private security sector only 10% of the employees are women. As long as we talk about quotas, as long as we count how many women are in certain positions, regardless of whether it is in the highest state positions, whether it is a position of women managers, whether they are in rectors, in dean's administrations and so on, in any which position or in specific jobs in security, how many women are police officers, how many in private security, how many are soldiers...
Until then and while we are talking about this and while there is a need for special conventions, special laws and policies in companies, we are facing with gender inequality. -
