Fifteen-year-old singer Troja Bicurri has won the fourth edition of the RTK Song Festival “Akordet e Kosovës 2026” with her original song “Mali dhe Hana”.

Bicurri wrote and composed the song herself, while the orchestration was done by Valon Gashi. The song tells a love story between a girl from the village and a boy from the city.

The first prize was presented by Culture Minister Saranda Bogujevci, who announced the winner during the closing ceremony of the festival's final night.

Overcome with emotion, Bicurri thanked RTK and everyone who supported her throughout the competition.

“I thank the ‘Akordet e Kosovës’ festival, Radio Television of Kosovo, and everyone who believed in me during this challenge. I am very proud that this ‘Akordet e Kosovës’ award is going to our family for the second time,” she said.

The winner also received a special gift: a gold and diamond medallion donated by Flori Diamonds.

Fatbardha Nikçi won second prize with the song “Hajde mor i bukur”, while the group Hawolf took third place with “Ti si unë”. Both awards were presented by RTK Director General Zana Spahiu.

After receiving the award, Hawolf's lead singer dedicated it to the composers, musicians and artists who have contributed to Kosovo's music scene and the history of the festival over the years.

Other awards included the Orchestra Award, which went to Fatbardha Nikçi, and the Best Lyrics Award, awarded to the song “Amanet”, performed by Olimpia.

Returning after a long interruption under its historical name, “Akordet e Kosovës” brought new artists and performances across different musical genres to the stage.

The festival also included the first edition of the children's competition, “Akordet për Fëmijë”, held as part of this year's program.
