The conference "Resilient Democracies in the Information Age: Nordic Perspectives on Combating Disinformation and Strengthening Societal Resilience" was held, which brought together institutional and diplomatic representatives to discuss the contemporary challenges of disinformation and ways to strengthen democracy in an increasingly complex information environment, reports Ekonomia Online.
First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Glauk Konjufca, said that disinformation about Kosovo comes mostly from Russia and Serbia.
“For Kosovo, this is not a distant concern. We continue to face disinformation campaigns coming mainly from Russia and Serbia, which seek to undermine our statehood, misrepresent our reality and local and international perception. These challenges are part of a broader continuum that affects the resilience of democracies throughout our region. In response, no single institution can provide a complete answer. Building resilience requires a comprehensive and sustained effort that brings together public institutions, independent media, civil society and citizens. In this regard, the experience of the Nordic countries offers important guidance throughout the region.”
“Resilience is strengthened through education, transparency, accountability, with a strong emphasis on media literacy and then social awareness. Kosovo is committed to advancing in this direction. We are working to strengthen our institutional communication, improve coordination and support an environment where accurate information and responsible journalism can flourish, can develop further. At the same time, we understand that long-term resilience depends on a society that is critically engaged and I understand that this conference will contribute in a meaningful way,” said Konjufca.
