As part of its activities related to the complex issues of the intellectual property, the Kosovo Media Institute organized a conference on copyright issues (‘Intellectual Property, Music Rights, Authors and Broadcasters’). The event took place on September 13^th at EU Information and Cultural Centre in Pristina.

Copyright conference gathered representatives of the broadcast sector (including RTK) and, for the first time, their counterpart from the Association of Music Authors of Kosovo (APIK).

Panelists were Ms. Ardita Zejnullahu (Association of Independent Electronic Media), Mr. Skender Boshtrakaj (Ministry of Culture), Mr. Florent Boshnjaku (Association of Music Authors), Mr. Feim Kurhasani (Radio Dukagjini), Mr. Isak Vorgucic (Radio KIM Caglavica/KOSMA network), Ms. Minire Fetahu (RTK), Mr. Driton Qeriqi (IREX, legal media advisor), Mr. Nehat Islami (Press Council), Mr. Kelmend Hapciu (Kosovo Media Institute) and Mr. Davor Glavas (Media Advocacy Expert, EU Support to the Kosovo Media Institute – phase II).

Topics discussed were:

• Current global trends in protection of the intellectual property and music rights;
• Current Kosovo legal framework on the issue;
• Existing models of royalties collection;
• Identifying the best royalties collection model for Kosovo.

All parties have agreed that the next step should include an active participation of the Independent Media Commission. KMI has already contacted the IMC, in order to get as wider representation of the broadcast sector in the forthcoming debate on the royalties collection model as possible.

The KMI Diploma Course trainers had selected the best 2010 trainee (Ms. Mirela Dupljak) and the best 2011 trainees (Ms. Mimoza Kqiku and Mr. Behar Mustafa) and KMI awarded them with a very special prize: enrolment to the BBC Academy Training course.

The BBC Academy training arrangement (usually relatively restricted for the non-BBC participants) had been made possible by a special engagement of the KMI, who secured the best available training course for the KMI trainees. Ms. Mirela Dupljak, Ms. Mimoza Kqiku and Mr. Behar Mustafa attended ‘Writing for Television’ training course, the choice of their selection.

The training course took place in the week of August 29 at White City (London), the very centre of the BBC TV production and training.

As part of the training component, Mirela, Mimoza and Behar visited the BBC TV Production Centre and BBC Broadcasting House, iconic production, development and broadcasting centres.  During the visit, KMI trainees had a unique opportunity to get a first-hand insight into the latest developments in TV production and broadcasting technology.

The BBC Academy training was an invaluable experience for Mirela, Mimoza and Behar.

Their experience will be used in their daily practice and shared with their fellow journalists in Kosovo, for sure.
