Hi everyone,

I thought I'd join this topic, because it is getting
very interesting. I think Visar's enthusiasm would not
be so big, if he really came down here and tried to
change things in the right direction. Because he would
have to talk to CEO-s/Directors who don't know the
albanian alphabet, don't know how to turn the computer
on, who are not interested to see the
company/institution they are running advance, and
above all think that they are the ultimate brain of
the world. However, by trying to kill somebody's
optimism absolutely nothing will be achieved. In fact,
one enthusiast can't change maybe a thing, ten of them
will change things a very very tiny bit, a hundred
will start doing something, but if the number of 1000
enthusiasts can be achieved, then definitely we would
have something moving. I think we should focus on this
thing. Many people tried to contribute to Kosova
individually, but as I said, they had terrible
obstacles called: albanians in positions(don't
misunderstand, there are some good albanians in some
positions). But besides these albanians in positions,
there are people both in kosova and in diaspora who
are REALLY WILLING to do good things for this place.
Ok, now I'll try to get to the point. Helping the PTK
technically won't do much, because they can put the
newest technology themselves by contracting a foreign
company. And in this year's budget, they are spending
5 million euro just for staff training, and out of
those 5 million probably at least 2.5 million will go
in the pockets of their directors. The directors at
PTK are not interested to have advices which can help
the PTK advance, because they are simply NOT
INTERESTED. They are stealing enough money this way,
so why bother and ACTUALLY work something? 
The better way to help PTK and Kosova in general, I
think, is to have a youth or whatever movement which
will pressure the government and government
institutions to work more effectively. Right now,
people in positions(mayors, ministers, directors,
etc.) are doing whatever they want. For example, the
mayor of Prishtina considers our municipality as if it
was his family business. So when there is a Tender for
anything, he gives the tender to his relatives
although his relatives make the most expensive offer.
But the mayor doesn't care, his relatives earn good
money, he earns good money out of that deal too, and
tax-payers are screwed. And what happens next? Next
comes the next tender, and the procedure continues.
They are able to do anything, and not bother. What
Kosova needs is an organization that will not allow
the mayor to do this. Kosova needs an organization
that will hunt the mayor legally until he is forced to
resign or sent to jail for corruption. Kosova needs an
organization that will raise the awareness of its
citizens, and not allow politicians do whatever they
want to do. I believe that such an
organization/network can be created by young albanians
inside and outside Kosova. And diaspora can especially
help in this direction by establishing contacts with
similar movements in areas where they live, and thus
learning from them. And, at times, even maybe get some
of the funding from them.
But unfortunately, historically we as albanians are
not used to work together to resolve major issues.
Individually many try to but ,as it has been proven in
this very list, fail. 
I think the best way to contribute is by joining all
enthusiasts/professionals.etc, and creating a huge
positive force which will do good to this country.

Me nderime,
