GLOBAL 3000 – DW-TV’s new globalisation magazine looks at the issues that are moving us today, and shows how people are living with the opportunities and risks of globalisation. GLOBAL 3000 gives globalisation a face. During the Kosovo War nine years ago, many of the people from Pristina fled abroad. One of them is Naim Bunjuka. Naim Bunjaku is a radio host, journalist, and singer who lives and works in Pristina, Kosovo. We asked him what globalization means to him, what he hopes the future will bring, and what keeps him up at night.
