From Pristina to Europe: Building a New Life with KOD95

€3,600 Monthly Salary
New Career Life Transformed
18 Days To First Job Offer

"In Kosovo, I worked odd jobs - construction, farming, anything to support my family. The pay was low and opportunities were limited. I heard about HM STORITVE from a cousin who studied there. I saved for a year to afford the course and accommodation in Ljubljana."

"HM STORITVE changed my life completely. They provided everything - accommodation, training in Albanian language, KOD95 certification, job placement help. The instructors understood our situation as Albanians from Kosovo trying to build better futures. After 8 weeks, I had my Category C+E license and KOD95. Two weeks later, I started working for DHL in Germany. Now I support my entire extended family back in Pristina."

Today, Arben drives international routes across Western Europe, earning €3,600 monthly - more than he made in an entire year in Kosovo. His success inspired 4 cousins to enroll at HM STORITVE. He sends money home every month and visits Kosovo quarterly, arriving in his own car - a dream he never thought possible.

Single Mother from Gjakova: Breaking Barriers with Category D

First Woman From Kosovo
€2,800 Monthly Income
Independent New Life

"I was a single mother with three children in Gjakova. After my husband passed away, I had nothing - no job, no future. My sister sent me information about HM STORITVE. Everyone said 'bus driving is not for women,' especially not for Albanian women from Kosovo. But I had to try."

"HM STORITVE gave me hope when I had none. They arranged affordable accommodation where I could bring my youngest child. The instructors taught in Albanian, which was crucial for me. Getting my Category D and KOD95 certification opened doors I never knew existed. Now I drive tourist buses around Slovenia and Croatia. I own an apartment in Ljubljana. My daughters see that women can do anything."

Fatime is now one of the most sought-after tourist bus drivers in Slovenia. She drives groups from across Europe, speaks three languages, and has become a role model for Albanian women. She recently helped 6 other women from Kosovo enroll at HM STORITVE. Her oldest daughter wants to become a pilot.

From Mitrovica Streets to Swiss Highways: Young Man's Journey

€4,200 Monthly Salary
Youngest Graduate
21 Days To Employment

"I grew up in North Mitrovica with no opportunities. My friends were leaving for Germany illegally, risking everything. I wanted a legal way out, a real career. I found HM STORITVE on Facebook - they offered training in Albanian language and help with everything. I borrowed money from my uncle and took the bus to Ljubljana."

"HM STORITVE treated me like family from day one. They understood that for young Albanians from Kosovo, this wasn't just about getting a license - it was about changing our entire future. The accommodation in Ljubljana was clean and affordable. The instructors spoke Albanian and were patient with us. After 6 weeks, I had Category C and KOD95 certification. A Swiss logistics company hired me immediately. Now I drive across all of Europe."

At 26, Besnik earns more than most doctors in Kosovo. He bought his parents a house in Pristina and a car. He's engaged to a girl from his hometown and plans to bring her to Switzerland. He says, "HM STORITVE gave me a future when Kosovo couldn't. Now I tell every young Albanian: get your KOD95, it's your ticket to Europe legally."

Two Brothers from Peja: From Unemployment to Transport Business Owners

5 Employees Jobs Created
Kosovo Dream Achieved

"We were both unemployed in Peja. Our father sold land to send us both to HM STORITVE in Ljubljana. It was our last chance. We shared accommodation, studied together, passed KOD95 together. We promised each other: we'll make this work or die trying."

"After graduation with KOD95 certification, we both got jobs in Austria. We saved every euro for 2 years - lived in one room, ate cheap food, no vacations. Then we bought our first used truck. Now we have 3 trucks, 5 drivers (all from Kosovo, all trained at HM STORITVE), and regular routes to Germany and Netherlands. We're back in Kosovo, running our business, employing our people. This is what KOD95 made possible - not just jobs, but creating jobs for others."

The Berisha brothers now run one of Kosovo's fastest-growing transport companies. They offer to sponsor KOD95 training for young people from Peja who can't afford it. "We remember where we came from," says Driton. "HM STORITVE believed in us when nobody else did. Now we believe in others."

From Refugee to Award-Winning Bus Driver: Shqipe's Inspiring Story

Driver of Year 2024 Award
€2,600 Stable Income
Permanent Residence

"I came to Slovenia as a refugee from Kosovo with my two teenage sons. We lived in a refugee center for 8 months. I spoke only Albanian. I had no education, no skills. A social worker told me about HM STORITVE's program for Albanian speakers. I thought, 'I'm 42, a woman, can I really do this?'"

"HM STORITVE didn't see a poor refugee woman - they saw potential. They gave me accommodation, taught me in Albanian, helped with my documents. When I got my Category D license and KOD95 certification, I cried. I applied to Ljubljana city transport, never thinking I'd get hired. But I did. Now, two years later, I was named 'Driver of the Year' for passenger satisfaction. My sons are in university. We have permanent residence. We are no longer refugees - we are home."

Shqipe's story has been featured in Slovenian media as an example of successful integration. She volunteers teaching basic Slovenian to new Albanian refugees. "HM STORITVE gave me dignity and a profession. Now I help others like me. This is the power of KOD95 - it transforms lives completely."
