Europe has failed Kosova
On September 16, 2026, the Special Prosecution Chamber of the Hague courts sentenced former leaders of the Kosova Liberation Army (UÇK/KLA), Hashim Thaçi, Kadri Veseli, Jakup Krasniqi and Rexhep Selimi to a combined 81 years in prison for ‘War Crimes’. This verdict is a severe injustice to the people of Kosova and the Albanian nation. It shows the world that fighting for your county’s freedom and preventing genocide can throw you in prision.
Financial aid future undetermined
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) has helped students pay for their college tuition for decades. But recent executive orders by President Donald Trump have put FAFSA into turmoil.

It’s goodbye, but it’s not goodbye
After a long time at Rock County, it’s time to say goodbye, but you’ll still see me around.

For many summers I went to my parents’ home country of Kosova; located in the Balkan peninsula of southeastern Europe.
