With deep sorrow, we inform you that Professor Peter Kopacek has passed away. Professor Kopacek made a significant contribution from the early days of UBT, as well as in the development and internationalization of the institution and Kosovo as a whole.

Professor Kopacek strongly supported UBT in his international perspective, directly contributing to the development of education and the nurturing of generations at this institution. He also participated in UBT conferences, offering his professional expertise and sharing his experience with students.

UBT’s Rector, Prof. Dr. Edmond Hajrizi, has expressed sincere condolences to the Kopacek family and all those who knew and worked with the professor.

Years ago, UBT honored Professor Kopacek with the highest award provided by the UBT Statute, the “Leadership Excellence Award,” acknowledging his outstanding contribution to the development of UBT since its foundation.

Tomorrow, starting at 11:30 at UBT, a commemorative meeting will be held in honor of the life and work of Professor Peter Kopacek.
