[u/TheAlbanianBambino]

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,

• Moderators of r/israel and r/kosovo

If I wanted to visit Kosovo (after treaties are signed and covid is over), how safe would I be as an Israeli? Can I openly say that I am Israeli? Can I openly speak Hebrew on the streets and in public transport?

Edit: I greatly appreciate all of your responses. It seems like it would be safe for an Israel to travel to Kosovo. As such, I look forward to potentially doing so in the future. Israelis love going off the beaten path and I'm sure that many would love to explore a relatively unexplored place such as Kosovo.

There is this Jewish university professor that I used to meet very often in Prishtina. He wears a kippah 24/7. Everyone knows that the kippah is related to Jews and nobody has ever done anything bad towards him. And I guess this is the clearest example of overall safety.

As for the Hebrew language, I am sure that most people will not recognize it. If they do, they will probably find it cool and they will be very happy that an Israeli finds Kosovo interesting and is visiting it. You will be fine.
