Surroi

Surroi is a surname of Albanian origin, used by people in Kosovo, Albania, and surrounding regions. It is most widely associated with Veton Surroi, a prominent Kosovar journalist and politician.

Veton Surroi (born 1961) founded Koha Ditore, a major Kosovan daily newspaper, and later established the political party ORA (Alliance for the Future of Kosovo). Through his work in media and politics, Surroi has been a central figure in Kosovo’s post-war public life, contributing to debates over independence, governance, and European integration, and participating in international dialogue about Kosovo’s status.

Koha Ditore has played a significant role in shaping public discourse in Kosovo, particularly during the late 1990s and early 2000s, a period of major political transition for the territory. The surname Surroi remains relatively uncommon and is most closely associated with public life in Kosovo.
