Overview • The Republic of Kosovo is Europe’s youngest country – and one of its poorest – but it has maintained positive economic growth rates, most recently 3.8 percent in 2016. Kosovo is working to improve the investment climate by strengthening the legal environment necessary to attract and retain foreign investment. • In 2016, the Central Bank of Kosovo estimated Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) at €234.8 million, down from €338 million in 2015. The unemployment rate is estimated at 27.5 percent. The difficult labor-market conditions affect youth and women disproportionately and risk undermining the country’s social fabric. Despite these challenges, Kosovo’s relatively young population, low labor costs, and abundant natural resources have attracted foreign investment, with several international firms and franchises already present in the market. • Kosovo’s main trade partners are EU countries (approximately 43.1 percent of imports and 22.6 percent of exports) and its neighbors through the Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA – approximately 27.0 percent of imports and 46.6 percent of exports). Kosovo continues to run a large trade deficit, with exports covering only about 12 percent of imports. • Switzerland was the largest investor in Kosovo in 2016 (€61.8 million). U.S. investment reached €22.5 million in 2016. • Kosovo has much to offer U.S. investors and exporters: o Kosovo’s liberal trade regime enables duty-free exports for the majority of Kosovo goods to the EU market.

  • European Union Election Expert Mission Kosovo 2021 Final Report
    European Union Election Expert Mission Kosovo 2021 Final Report Early Legislative Elections 14 February 2021 The Election Expert Missions are independent from the institutions of the European Union. The views and opinions expressed in this report are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the official policy and position of the European Union. European Union Election Expert Mission Kosovo* Early Legislative Elections – 14th February 2021 Final report I. SUMMARY Elections were held for the 120-member unicameral Kosovo Assembly on 14th February 2021. As with the four previous legislative elections since Kosovo’s 2008 declaration of independence, these were early elections provoked by a political crisis. The elections were competitive, and campaign freedoms were generally respected. There was a vibrant campaign, except in the Kosovo Serb areas. Despite a very short timeframe and challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Central Election Commission (CEC) administered the elections well and in a transparent manner, although problems with Out of Kosovo voting reduced confidence in that part of the process. Election day was assessed by local observers as orderly, with voters participating in high numbers. However, as with previous elections, the process deteriorated during the vote count and a large number of recounts were ordered due to discrepancies in the results protocols. Such long-standing systemic problems, which have been identified in previous EU EOMs, should be addressed to enable Kosovo to fully meet international standards for democratic elections. These elections were held in an increasingly polarised atmosphere, influenced by the turbulent political developments since the last legislative elections.
