“Islamophobia in Albania has experienced an intensification in various spheres of life, including employment, education, media representation, the justice system, etc. with negative opinions and stereotyping, as well as hate speech on mainstream media, social media, and other online platforms,” added Dosti, speaking to TRT World.
“Whereas visible Muslimness tends to be discriminated against in daily life in Kosovo, it should be not forgotten that Muslimness was a root cause for many genocidal attempts in the Balkans, especially the wars in Bosnia and Kosovo during the 90s,” added Ferizaj, speaking to TRT World.
