He works as a journalist at Gazeta Express and is a contributor to Sbunker, a critical media platform in Kosovo, and Monitor, a leading economic magazine based in Tirana, where he contributes to its Kosovo coverage within the Western Balkans section. He holds a master\u2019s degree in Marketing at the University of Pristina. Zogaj is also the author of Silent Stories, a documentary exploring economic challenges, workers\u2019 rights, and social justice, and the coordinator of IdeoNgritja, a platform dedicated to protecting the rights of private-sector workers.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The research project examines the economic dimension of relations between Kosovo and Serbia, focusing on how political tensions shape economic development, regional cooperation, and public perceptions, a dimension which remains underexplored in public discourse and media narratives. Through data analysis, expert interviews, and policy review, the project aims to produce evidence-based reporting that contributes to a more informed public debate on how economic factors can either reinforce division or facilitate reconciliation in the Western Balkans.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Key words:<\/strong> international cooperation, economy, reconciliation<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":32407,"template":"","tema":[294,296],"tip":[293],"class_list":["post-32410","fellowship","type-fellowship","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tema-economic-reconciliation","tema-inter-ethnic-relations","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>Sefer Zogaj - Heartefact<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Sefer Zogaj is an economic journalist and public policy researcher.
