He currently works as a project manager at Sbunker, a nonprofit media organisation in Kosovo covering politics, economics, culture and society. In January 2023, he became a member of the Wilson Center\u2019s Transatlantic Writers\u2019 Group in Washington D.C. He holds a master\u2019s degree in international studies from Old Dominion University in Virginia, U.S. Visar&#8217;s research project explores the role of non-state actors in advancing the Kosovo-Serbia Dialogue through Track Two diplomacy, a bottom-up approach that engages influential non-official actors rather than state representatives. The research employs a qualitative methodology, including interviews with stakeholders in Kosovo and Serbia, supported by a theoretical analysis of Track Two diplomacy. Visar argues that a well-designed Track Two framework can foster the necessary synergy to bring the parties closer to resolving outstanding issues and ultimately reaching a normalisation deal. His study presents specific recommendations for implementing this approach, focusing on building trust, introducing new ideas, and influencing key decision-makers to shift the dynamics from conflict management to conflict resolution.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can download his research <a href=\"https:\/\/heartefact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/VISAR-FINAL.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":19682,"template":"","tema":[310],"tip":[293],"class_list":["post-19656","fellowship","type-fellowship","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tema-civic-dialogue-en","tip-kosovo-serbia-research-fellowship-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Visar Xhambazi - Heartefact<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/heartefact.org\/en\/fellowship\/visar-xhambazi\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Visar Xhambazi - Heartefact\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Visar Xhambazi has been engaged as a researcher, consultant, and project manager for various nonprofit organisations.
