Who is Faton Bislimi?

Faton H. Bislimi is an Albanian activist.

Bislimi graduated summa cum laude from Texas Lutheran University with a B.S. in computer science and a B.A. in math, while later received his Master's in Public Administration and International Development from Harvard University. During his studies at TLU and Harvard, Bislimi wrote for the Albanian daily Bota Sot and closely cooperated with Joseph DioGuardi of the Albanian-American Civic League as well as with other American congressmen who have supported Kosovo.

Bislimi is the author of two books, a compilation of math problems and a series of journalistic writings titled Në Rrugëtim me Kosovën: Tatëpjetat dhe të Përpjetat, published at Houston in 2006 by Ramiz Tafilaj's Jalifat Publishing. Critics have valued the latter as a "manifestation of two figures in a joint harmony: one is the power of Bislimi's thought, and the other is the perspicuity of his rare writings."

Faton Bislimi founded The Bislimi Group with the aim of offering better education opportunities to Kosovar students. TLU awarded 13 full scholarships for undergraduate studies through The Bislimi Group.
