If someone asked him what is the best thing he has ever done in his life, Veton Breznica's  answer would be,  "believing in  my dreams". Dreaming of  becoming a pilot  in  a  country where the atrocities of war and scent of gunpowder were still fresh in the collective psyche, for many was absurd, but not for Veton. Instead of making him stop dreaming, this motivated him to accelerate the efforts and turn it as quickly as possible into a reality. 
Only 19 years old, Veton Breznica became the first aviation ambassador and glider pilot of the Republic of Kosovo. Later, he was instrumental in the establishment of AirCadets -- Kosova; an NGO for aviation minded youth, aiming to produce the next generation of aviation professionals in Kosovo. Now, with more than seven years of active  aviation  training  and personal  development,  Veton  has  gained international recognition for his achievement.


About TEDx: x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
