De Facto recommends Kosovo

'Mir Is Mirë' Builds Bridges

The exhibition ‘Mir is Mirë’ (‘mir’ meaning peace in Serbian; ‘mirë’ meaning good in Albanian) opened in Serbia and Kosovo last week. Young artists from Serbia and Kosovo showcase their work on the themes of conflict and peace, wartime trauma, national identity and cultural resilience. The event encourages visitors to look beyond nationalist biases and political division. It takes place in the wake of the Serbian-Kosovar ‘Mirëdita, Dobar Dan!’ cultural festival, which was abruptly cancelled by the Serbian authorities last June.

'I’ve Been Alive For 21 Years, But I Actually Don’t Exist'

As one of thousands of Turkish Cypriots, Sude Dogan is denied Cypriot citizenship because she is a child of a mixed marriage between a Cypriot and a Turkish parent. Tirelessly campaigning for citizenship rights of children in de facto states, she is under a ferocious attack by Turkish nationalists.
