The National Library of Kosovo is located in Kosovo’s capital, Pristina. It’s mission is to preserve, promote and make accessible the cultural heritage of Kosovo. It also serves to coordinate and support other libraries within Kosovo. The National Library hopes to develop a strategic plan that will increase library services and develop a wide range of library collections that represent Kosovo’s cultural heritage.

The Fulbright Specialist program pairs highly qualified U.S. academics and professionals with host institutions abroad to share their expertise, strengthen institutional linkages, hone their skills, gain international experience, and learn about other cultures while building capacity at their overseas host institutions.
