主播大秀 Albanian and 主播大秀 Serbian services have teamed up with Radio Television of Kosovo (RTK) to bring audiences the first ever multi-ethnic panel broadcast from Kosovo.
Recorded in Prishtina, Auditorium - Question Time will debate and broadcast issues concerning the communities living in Kosovo.
It will be shown on the Radio Television of Kosovo on Thursday 16 June and aired on the 主播大秀 Albanian and 主播大秀 Serbian services' programmes on Friday 17 June.
The programme will be broadcast in three languages - Albanian, English and Serbian.
The panel includes Soren Jessen Petersen, the Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary General in Kosovo (UNMIK); Kosovo's Prime Minister Bajram Kosumi; the Albanian opposition party leader, Veton Surroi; the Serbian MP Oliver Ivanovic; and Igballe Rogova, Director of Women's Network in Kosova.
The Head of 主播大秀 Albanian, Julia Goga-Cooke said: "I am delighted that Auditorium - Question Time gives the Kosovo ethnic communities - Albanians, Serbians, Bosnians, Romas and Turks - a chance to raise the issues that concern them.
"There is a keen interest in the democratic standards which Kosovo is expected to reach, and in the economy, while the young people raise questions about youth prospects, and about the involvement of the ethnic minorities in their own future.
"The 主播大秀 is thrilled to offer a forum for such a discussion."
The Albanian version will be broadcast on the 主播大秀 Albanian new morning programme, 主播大秀 Sot, from 8.00 to 9.00am on Friday 17 June.
