General Agim Çeku is receiving NSK diplomantic passport during the opening of the group exhibition in Galerise Kombetare te Kosoves, Prishtine, December 12, 2003 (from the archive of EXIT, Peja).
Since 2006, the number of applications for the NSK passport has been rising persistently from month to month mostly due to applicants from Nigeria; the numbers of applications reached 100 applications per week in the beginning of 2007. Since the number and the profile of the applicants were obviously different from the average, we decided to take a closer look into the matter. Many applicants of Ibadan origins indicated as the place of residence their London address, this allowed us to react quickly enough. From 5-7 May 2007, Irwin opened a temporary office in London where in collaboration with the visual anthropologists Esben Hansen and Julie Boticello, held a series of discussions with the newly accepted citizens of the NSK state in time.
