BalkanSpring, a Kosovo based craft shop, has been a part of JuleExpo 2014 held in Lillestrom Norway, one of the biggest craft fairs. The fair gathers annually 20,000 craft lovers from around the world. This is the first time products from Kosovo have been on display at this fair, thus making this a very exciting step towards bringing Kosovo closer to the rest of the world.

Balkanspring.com is a web based platform that offers Kosovo based craft-work to international markets. At the fair, Balkanspring has presented traditional and unique clothing, accessories, scarfs and shoes. The sole aim of such an initiative is promotion of crafts as well as strengthening capacities of current Kosovo based entrepreneurs.
