Recognizing the demonstrated record of the people of Kosovo in nurturing close ties between different faiths—peaceful relations between Albanian Muslims and Catholics, the preservation of Serb orthodox heritage, and the protection of the Jewish people during WWII—the Ministry of Foreign Affairs took the lead in reaching out to faith leaders by launching a series of initiatives intended to foster interfaith dialogue between faith communities, civil society, and ecumenical and academic institutions. 

This artillery of initiatives is also instructive towards normalizing interfaith relations locally, which have been weakened during the past decades.
