Ten Serbian and Kosovar students study at Dutch universities this year. The students do not need to pay any fees and get an allowance for expenses.

Five Dutch universities (Utrecht, Amsterdam (UvA), Delft, Enschede and Groningen) participate in the project, which is an initiative of the European student society Aegee. The project's aim is to bring Serbian and Albanese students together in a democratic environment.

'We hope that the project leads to reconciliation between the Kosovar and Serbian students', says chairman Pieter Gieszen of the project team of Aegee-Utrecht. 'In addition, we offer the students the chance to study. In Yugoslavia many lectures are cancelled because intellectuals are leaving the country.'

The students follow the study-programme of the Dutch university. They also follow seminars, organised by Aegee, on subjects related to Yugoslavia, e.g., identity and international law. By now nine of the ten students have started.

Initiator Ashkan Ghanbarzadeh-Dagheyan hopes the project can help them ‘to know how and when to ask for help’.
