While many people have a formed opinion of them, few really know the musical and dance creativity of women shaped by the immigrant experience. Alma Bejtullahu's book (' Musical And Dance Practices Of Women With Immigrant Background') sheds light on part of their rich cultural and artistic activities within the cultural societiens, namely the diverse approaches to music and dance practices through which women express their immigrant and ethnic backgrounds in the Western Balkan countries. Women of different ages are involved in this amateur and socially engaged activity, which is rooted in a variety of personal circumstances and experiences. In the societies, they often learn the standardised performance practices that they use to recreate the musical traditions of their countries of origin. In addition to the above, the book also examines the musical practices of women artists who work as individuals, outside the confines of cultural societies, and who are predominantly professional musicians. Their distinctive feature is an individualised creative attitude towards the music of the Western Balkans, which they interpret in their own unique ways, often collaborating with musicians of other ethnicities. In all these processes of re-creation, women play a key role, not only as performers, but also as organizers, which enables them to decide about their practices and thus change the levers of power in their communities and in the society at large.

This article presents a novel approach to explain ethnopolitical mobilization among Kosovo Albanian miners during the winter of 1988–1989. Based on a close reading of the mining enterprise’s journal, it identifies three factors accounting for the rising politicization of ethnicity in microlevel dynamics within the Trepça mining enterprise. First, the article points at ethnic grievances in intra-elite managerial tensions and miners’ unrest. It relates these to structural conditions generated by the shifting cultural divisions of labor in Kosovo mining. Second, the article looks at counter-mobilizational dynamics among Kosovo Albanian miners, which were directly provoked by Serbian ethnopolitical mobilization during Slobodan Milošević’s rise to power. In a final step, the article reconstructs socio-occupational realignments taking shape in the particular decision-making structures of the mining enterprise. Against a background of internal power struggles and reorganizations, the executive management and the miners found themselves on the defensive against party representatives and managerial competitors. Making use of the enterprise’s institutional setup, they established a strong ethnopolitical alliance, which culminated in the underground strike of February 1989. The article suggests that this approach can be valuable to study other cases of intersecting social and ethnopolitical mobilization.

Visa liberalisation and labour migration: Legal and economic implications for Kosovo

Throughout the years of Kosovo’s independence, the country has formed certain relations with neighbouring states and with Western Europe, but the significant simplification of the border crossing procedure with the Schengen area, which came into force on 1 January 2024, requires a review of the existing balances and the formation of up-to- date assessments of possible consequences. The study aims to predict the further development of Kosovo-EU relations in the context of migration processes. Statistical and retrospective analysis methods were used to study the key economic indicators of previous years regarding the prospects for the redistribution of labour resources. The study proves the positive development of the Kosovo economy by analysing such important economic indicators for previous years as gross domestic product, unemployment rate, net migration from Kosovo, average wages in the country, and the volume of remittances received by the economy from labour migrants working abroad. A dedicated study was conducted on Kosovo’s relations with its neighbouring countries – Albania, Serbia, Montenegro, and North Macedonia. In the context of labour migration processes, the experience of Kosovars working in these countries was assessed, and changes in labour market balances caused by visa liberalisation were predicted. Based on the data obtained and the conclusions drawn, a forecast was made regarding the economic and political consequences of visa-free travel for Kosovars: the prospect of working in the Schengen area will be used by those citizens of the Republic of Kosovo who are already working abroad, and there will be no significant outflow of the labour resources available in the country. The practical significance of the study lies in the modelling of further development of the labour market in Kosovo, which will be useful for managers of state-owned enterprises and large private employers in formulating their HR strategies
