Swedish climate and human rights activist Greta Thunberg visited Reporting House on July 28, 2025, as part of her two-day visit to Kosovo.
Thunberg met with activists from youth organisations in Kosovo and spent two hours at the museum learning more about the history of activism and civic protests in Kosovo during the 1990s.
She was welcomed by the museum’s producer, Jeta Xharra, and curator, Gazmend Ejupi, who, together with young artist Vullnet Jakupi, discussed the contemporary artworks exhibited at Reporting House that explore themes of activism. Among them was Jakupi’s work addressing Kosovo’s “home schools”, the parallel education system established during the 1990s.
Thunberg also visited the Reporting House Gallery, where Fragments of Survival, an exhibition by 18-year-old artist Hussein al-Jerjawi from Gaza, was on display.
During her visit, Thunberg expressed particular interest in how Kosovo’s political sphere and wider society have responded to the situation in Gaza.
Accompanied by young activists from Kosovo, she also expressed her gratitude for the generosity and hospitality of the people she had met during her stay.
Reporting House producer Jeta Xharra said she had been following Thunberg’s activism for a long time.
“She has succeeded in becoming a voice for the future and has very effectively drawn the world’s attention to the environmental crisis,” Xharra said.
Xharra also highlighted Thunberg’s activism in response to the injustices taking place in Gaza, describing it as a privilege to have the opportunity to share with her the history of the injustices experienced in Kosovo during the 1990s.
Reporting House opened on June 10, 2024, in Prishtina’s former Gërmia department store. The museum documents and presents the extensive work of local and international journalists who reported on the war in Kosovo.
