Balkan students optimistic about European future

TIRANA, Sep 28 – Students in Serbia, Albania, Bosnia, Kosovo and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) are optimistic about the future.
In a recent poll in Universities in Serbia, Albania, Bosnia, Kosovo and FYROM students have expressed the most optimistic opinion ever in history for peace between ethnic lines and willingness to become part of the European Union (EU).
The poll was sponsored by Albanian Minerals based in New York. It was conducted for three weeks in September by our pollster, and 1000 students participated.
In the Balkans there is a saying that “after a bitter winter spring will come and beautiful flowers will bloom.”
Students are the news that the dark past of the Balkans is over and that peace and prosperity will begin.
In Albania 97 percent of students support a peaceful solution in the matters of Kosovo, Montenegro and FYROM. 100 percent support Albania joining the EU.
Overwhelmingly, the new generation is looking for better days for the whole region. The students greatest wish is peace in their countries, improvement of economy and opportunities and one day, for the whole Balkan region to be part of the EU family.
