RIYADH: Kosovo’s Prime Minister Albin Kurti recently inaugurated the sixth Jusoor exhibition at Skanderbeg Square in Pristina, organized by Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Islamic Affairs in collaboration with the religious attaché at the Saudi Embassy in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Running for ten days, the exhibition coincides with the final qualifiers of the third international Holy Qur’an memorization competition in the Balkans, held in cooperation with the Islamic Sheikhdom in Kosovo.
The event aims to promote authentic Islamic values such as moderation, compassion, and justice.
It also highlights Saudi Arabia’s rich Islamic and cultural heritage, fostering intercultural dialogue and community connection, according to the report.
Kurti commended Saudi Arabia’s historical and humanitarian support for Kosovo, especially during pivotal times in its history, describing the relationship as one of genuine friendship and growing partnership.
He emphasized the strengthening cooperation in tourism, education, economy, and culture, noting increased people-to-people exchanges.
He added that the name “Jusoor,” meaning “bridges” in Arabic, symbolizes the cultural link between Saudi Arabia and Kosovo, deepening local understanding of the Kingdom’s traditions.
Kurti praised the exhibition as a platform for reflection and engagement, and described Saudi Arabia as a model of peace, unity, and cultural outreach.
Sheikh Naim Ternava, grand mufti of Kosovo and head of the Islamic Sheikhdom, also expressed gratitude for the Kingdom’s continued support.
He noted that the exhibition reflects a joint commitment to advancing Islamic values, cultural exchange, and meaningful communication between nations.
