OSCE Mission in Kosovo holds third multi-ethnic trade fair for women entrepreneurs
On 1 and 2 July 2019, the OSCE Mission in Kosovo organized its third trade fair for women entrepreneurs from different communities and regions in Kosovo.
In addition to being an opportunity to promote their businesses and expand their networks, the fair aims to help increase inter-community cooperation and dialogue in Kosovo.
Around 80 women, owners of small businesses in their respective villages and towns, participated in the fair, selling and promoting their products, such as handicrafts, homemade food, jewellery, paintings and more.
Many of them also attended training sessions on topics related to business development organized by the OSCE Mission in the previous years.
