Can Dua Lipa鈥檚 family change Kosovo鈥檚 image?

The superstar and her family are putting on the event to try and transform their home country, which was ravaged by war.

More than 25 years after the Kosovo war, a music festival in the capital Pristina is hoping to change the image of the country around the world by inviting international artists and fans to learn more about the country鈥檚 cultural scene.

Sunny Hill Festival is organised by global pop star Dua Lipa and her dad Dugi, who鈥檚 from Pristina.

They are using their industry contacts to bring acts like Bebe Rexha, Stormzy and Burna Boy to party with tens of thousands of people, as well as inviting top industry experts.

But more than 15 years after Kosovo declared independence, could politicians be doing more to help boost the country鈥檚 music scene rather than relying on the Lipa family?
