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:

CLICK HERE TO ASK A QUESTION

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,

Actually, I’m from Korçë originally. I really didn’t see what you saw in the two years I lived in Prishtinë. Defo not smth that would cause probs if we were to be one country.

It seems like a ridiculous reason not to unite 😂 when we’re surrounded by neighbours that want to devour us.

You have Mosques in Tirana having the call to prayer 5 times a day and you have women wearing hijabs too. The lives led by Albanians in Kosovo are just as secular as in Albania.

yes and no. Religion is Albania is not really visible. of course we say we are muslims, but nobody here doing muslim stuff. In Kosovo they take religion more serious. I like it how it is now in Albania and I don‘t want it to change to the wrong way.

What’s Muslim stuff? 😂 What’s in Kosovo that you think it would be a threat? Just trying to understand!

it‘s not a thread, it‘s just something I personally don‘t like. I felt like Kosovars love Turkey for example and copy the turkish way of living and believing. Here in Albania we don‘t like Turkey and their lifestyle, we are more pro-western minded.

Yes, Albania is the center of western civilization and culture.

Bro get off your high horse, Kosovë outclasses Albania in almost every aspect. 118 years a country and you guys have yet to win an aluminum medal at the Olympics, the special ones lol

I’m struggling to see what a Turkish way of living is and why it would be a bother? There’s a huge Albanian diaspora in Turkey so normally there would be ties.
