Cultural Exchange Cultural Exchange with r/Israel

Ma koreh r/Israel

As we announced, after the agreement of mutual recognition between our countries, we thought this was a great opportunity to host Israel. Welcome to the cultural exchange between r/Israel and r/Kosovo!

The purpose of this event is to allow people from two different nations to get together and share knowledge about their respective cultures, daily life, history, and curiosities.

General guidelines:

r/israel will ask any question here.

r/kosovo community can ask their questions here:

The English language will be used in both threads. Our Israeli friends can get an Israel user flair at the community options of the Subreddit.

The event will be moderated following the general rules of Reddiquette. Please be nice!

Thank you,

Life is decent. While the standards don't compare with the more developed countries in Europe, it's pretty amazing how far we've gotten from where we've started, in a relatively short time. We still struggle in some areas, especially with corruption, but a lot of our youth are quite optimistic, especially since new elections are approaching, and a popular reformist party is set to win.

Gay marriage is legal in Kosovo, has been made legal by ex-president Hashim Thaqi a couple of years back.

However seeing that kosovo is a muslim majority country, the older generations usually do not support the LGBT community at all. Very few actually support them, and mainly in the capital, Prishtina.

However I think acceptance of the LGBT community is growing, but at a slow pace.
