Success Stories That Inspire

From Pristina to Europe: Building a New Life with KOD95

"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."

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

"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."

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

"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."

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

"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."

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

"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?'"

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."
