Critically Acclaimed Kosovar Films Screened

Three powerful and award-winning Kosovar films were screened, offering insight into the country’s rich history and resilient spirit:

The goal is to promote joint research, faculty and student exchange programs, and media and cultural studies initiatives.

The Bangladesh Bar Council has issued a crucial reminder to private universities offering LLB (Hons) programs, requiring them to submit student admission and graduation lists by June 30, 2025.
