The Secretary General of the Kosovo Olympic Committee, Besim Aliti, has unveiled plans to establish a special academy to prepare young people who will be involved in organizing the Mediterranean Games Prishtina 2030, emphasizing that the initiative aims to meet human resource needs.
Speaking about the concept of the academy and organizational requirements, he stressed that the focus will be on young people who have recently completed their studies and lack work experience. They will be trained and later given employment opportunities within the organizational structures. According to him, the total number of people to be engaged will be very large.
“We will, through international cooperation, create a training program — an academy to equip young people in Kosovo, mainly fresh bachelor graduates. The goal is to educate them in specific fields related to the Mediterranean Games and allocate 360 national and 40 international staff members. The minimum staff we need is between 800 and 1,000 full-time employees and 2,500 to 3,000 volunteers.
So we are talking about mobilizing around 5,000 people for the Mediterranean Games,” Aliti said on “SportCast.”
He further highlighted the expected economic impact of these investments, noting that they should not be seen merely as expenses, but as circulation that returns to the country’s economy through employment and tourism.
“Absolutely. The costs incurred are not just costs — all these investments in infrastructure and human resources return to Kosovo’s businesses and people through taxation. We should also account for a significant influx of tourism during the Mediterranean Games, which will generate indirect income for the economy,” he added.
