Internationalization at a Crossroads
Kosovo and the Western Balkans in the European Higher Education Landscape
Abstract
Over the last decade, the Western Balkans have shifted from Europe’s academic margins to serving
as a growing hub of international collaboration. Although Kosovo is one of this region’s most
dynamic participants, its global aspirations do not always match local realities. At the same time, a
new generation is channeling international experience into entrepreneurship and innovation,
pressing Kosovo to choose whether to embed internationalization into its own systems or remain
dependent on external initiatives.
