On 19 July, a group of Young European Ambassadors (YEAs) from Kosovo visited the Western Balkans Youth orchestra in their final rehearsal session before their concert in Pristina. The group included Amina Kaja, Desantila Muriqi, Eris Cunaku, and Jora Zeneli. They had a chance to talk about the YEA network and possible cooperation opportunities with the members of the orchestra.

The Western Balkans Youth Orchestra is an initiative by Artium Eudora, a Pristina-based NGO that promotes the arts as a tool for individual and social progress. The orchestra went on tour for the first time in October 2021, and in May 2022 it played on Europe Day in Novi Sad. After the Pristina concert, the orchestra continued its tour to Skopje and Novi Sad and will continue to Mostar (26 July) and Kotor (28 July). In August, the young musicians will perform for German audiences with concerts in Aachen, Berlin, Essen, Kassel, and Königswinter.

The 2022 WBYO tour has been made possible with the support of the European Commission, the EU in Kosovo and North Macedonia, several Rotary Clubs of the Aachen region, Engagement Global, the Foreign Ministries of Germany and Luxembourg, the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Kosovo, and the Austrian Cultural Forum in Serbia.
