The "Kosovo Accords" festival returns this year, organized by the Radio Television of Kosovo, featuring two festivals in one edition.

Rilind Gërvalla, the director of the RTK Song Festival, has appointed composer Florent Boshnjaku as the artistic director for both the fourth edition of the RTK Fest and the inaugural edition of the Children’s Song Festival. 

Gërvalla praised Boshnjaku for his dedication and contributions in the previous three editions, expressing confidence that the upcoming fourth edition will deliver exceptional artistic creations to the audience.

A distinguishing feature of this year's edition is the organization of two festivals under the "Kosovo Accords" umbrella: the Adult Song Festival and the Children’s Song Festival, marking the return of one of the most significant events in local music.

Preparations are already underway, including the formation of a professional team and discussions regarding organizational matters. 

The working group, led by Gërvalla, has also announced the dates for the "Kosovo Chords" festival: October 29, 30, and 31. The Song Festival competition night will take place on October 29, the final of the fourth edition of RTK Fest will be held on October 30, and the first edition of the Children’s Festival will occur on October 31.
