Introduction This report contains a summary of main trends of budget revenues and expenditures during the nine-month period of 2019. The report contains summarising analyses for the relevant period, presentation of revenues by collecting institutions at the central and local level, details on revenues by type of taxations, as well as comparisons with the previous periods and budget projections. 1.1. Revenue Performance Total revenues – during the nine-month, revenues amounted € 1,676.33 million and represent 68% of total projected annual revenues, whereas compared to the generation of the nine-month from the previous year there is an increase of 11%. Budget revenues amounted to € 1,379.34 million, marking an increase of 7%, corresponding to € 89.43 million more, compared to the nine-month period of the previous year. This amount of revenues represents 71% of the annual projection, while the increase in relation to the same period of the previous year is mainly as a result of regular tax and non-tax revenues. This good trend of tax and non-tax revenues is estimated to have come as a result of the performance of private sector, constant improvement of the environment of making business, as well as additional activities from revenue collecting agencies. Tax revenues collected from Kosovo Customs have reached the gross amount € 864.14 million, or 70% of the budget plan for 2019, marking an increase of 21.17 million, or 3% more compared to the same period of the previous year. Tax revenues collected by the Tax Administration of Kosovo have reached the gross amount of € 372.35 million, or 72% of the budget plan for 2019, marking an increase of € 35.62 million, or 11% more compared to the same period of the previous year. Non-tax revenues had a generation of € 157.31 million, or an increase of 14% compared to the previous year, as a result of the increase in non-tax revenues from the central and local level to about € 14.57 million and royalty for about € 2.84 million. Revenues from borrowing amounted to € 132.91 million, including revenues from sub- borrowings, or 40% of the annual plan. Compared with the same period of the previous year, generation is higher for € 30.05 million, while internal borrowings are higher for € 21 million during the reporting period. Total funding increased for € 77.23 million due to the receipt of one-off financing from PAK (€ 150.00 million). 1.2. Expenditure performance 3 Total expenditures – during the nine-months, payments amounted to € 1,406.88 million and represent 57% of the annual expenditure plan, while compared to generation of the nine- month period of the previous year, there is an increase of € 77.05 million or 6%. Budget expenditures during this reporting period amounted to € 1,365.08 million (including interest payments), thus marking an increase of 4.1%, corresponding to € 53.58 million more compared to the previous nine-months. o Expenditures for wages and salaries marked an amount of € 457.32 million during this nine-month period, reaching the executive rate of 73% compared to the total annual amount budgeted for this category. Expenditures for salaries during the reporting period marked an increase of 4.1% or over € 18.06 million more compared to the salary expenditures of the same period in 2018. o Expenditures for goods and services (including utilities) market the amount of € 183.40 million, marking an increase of € 25.27 million, thus reaching the execution rate of 53% compared to the total annual amount budgeted for this category (including € 17.18 million of utilities), or an increase of 4% compared to the same period in 2018. o Expenditures for subsidies and transfers amounted to € 445.61 million (of which € 361.37 million were social transfers), marking an increase of € 44.05 million, thus reaching the execution rate of 73% compared to the total budgeted amount for this category or 11% more compared to the same period in 2018. This increase as a result of social transfers of 13% (old-age pensions, contributory pensions and Trepca pensions) as well as subsidies of 5% in the reporting period. o Capital expenditures amounted to € 259.36 million, which represents a low execution rate, compared to the total annual amount budgeted for this category or the same previous period, as a result of late adoption of the Law on Budget Appropriations for 2019 and a low interest of budget execution from budget organizations. In terms of financial sources during the reporting period, means for capital expenses, mainly, come from the regular budget at 66% followed by PAK liquidation fund revenues at 19%; own source revenues at about 10%, as well as the remainder funded by the external loan at about 3% and funding from the development trust fund at about 1%. o Expenditures of state borrowing (interest and principal payments, including returns from sub-borrowings) marked an amount of € 57.09 million (of which € 19.38 million were the interest of public debt), thus achieving the execution rate at 73% compared to the total budgeted amount for this category, thus marking an increase of 91% compared with payments for this category during the same period of the previous year 2018. 1.3. Balance of funds on 30 June 2019 4 The gross balance of the funds on 30 June 2019 was € 657.82 million. The initial balance of the funds of the Budget of the Republic of Kosovo on 1 January 2019 was € 387.87 million. As a result of more revenues than payments (increase in tax revenues) for the period January -September 2019, the balance of funds has increased by € 269.45 million, unlike the same period of 2018, when the increase was € 179.84 million Explanatory details about revenue and expenditures are presented in the following tables of this nine-month report for 2019. 5 2.

  • Illyrian-Albanian Continuity on the Areal of Kosova 29 Illyrian-Albanian Continuity on the Areal of Kosova
    Illyrian-Albanian Continuity on the Areal of Kosova 29 Illyrian-Albanian Continuity on the Areal of Kosova Jahja Drançolli* Abstract In the present study it is examined the issue of Illyrian- Albanian continuity in the areal of Kosova, a scientific problem, which, due to the reasons of daily policy, has extremely become exploited (harnessed) until the present days. The politicisation of the ancient history of Kosova begins with the Eastern Crisis, a time when the programmes of Great-Serb aggression for the Balkans started being drafted. These programmes, inspired by the extra-scientific history dressed in myths, legends and folk songs, expressed the Serb aspirations to look for their cradle in Kosova, Vojvodina. Croatia, Dalmatia, Bosnia and Hercegovina and Montenegro. Such programmes, based on the instrumentalized history, have always been strongly supported by the political circles on the occasion of great historical changes, that have overwhelmed the Balkans. Key Words: Dardania and Dardans in antiquity, Arbers and Kosova during the Middle Ages, geopolitical, ethnic, religious and cultural concepts, which are known in the sources of that time followed by a chronological development. The region of Kosova preserves archeological monuments from the beginnings of Neolith (6000-2600 B.C.). Since that time the first settlements were constructed, including Tjerrtorja (Prishtinë), Glladnica (Graçanicë), Rakoshi (Istog), Fafos and Lushta (Mitrovicë), Reshtan and Hisar (Suharekë), Runik (Skenderaj) etc. The region of Kosova has since the Bronze Age been inhabited by Dardan Illyrians; the territory of extension of this region was much larger than the present-day territory of Kosova. * Prof. Jahja Drançolli Ph.

We studied the archaeological material from the Roman, Late Roman and, in particular from the Early Byzantine period. A large number of archaeological objects and especially iron tools found on the ^e~an and Gornji Streoc fortresses indicate a well-developed level of production in the crafts and iron manufacturer. We emphasize the importance of these fortresses in Late Roman times and we highlight the fortification of the interior regions of Illyricum. This suggests that Dardania had a considerable population in the Late Roman period as is confirmed by the many fortresses constructed throughout the entire region, often on almost inaccessible terrain. Key words. – Dardania, Kosovo, Fortifications, Late Roman, Early Byzantine, Finds, Coins. ery little is known about the material culture abounding in pastures and intersected by fertile river of Kosovo in Late Roman times.

  • The Kosovo War Tour: Dealing with the Country's War History As a Tour Operator
    The Kosovo war tour: dealing with the country’s war history as a tour operator Image 1. “Adem Jashari” memorial complex, Prekaz, Kosovo. 31 May, 2018. by Sarah Driessen Driessen s4361954/1 s4361954 August, 2018 ⁕ Preface ⁕ The first time I visited Kosovo was three years ago in 2015. The country caught my interest and I have been going back there every year since. This is why the decision to focus on Kosovo for my research was quickly made. As a tourist, you stand out, because there are not many there. I have seen the beautiful and positive sides of Kosovo but at the same time I have noticed how the country, years after the war, still has a long way to go. With my research, I want to give a helping hand and combine tourism with the development of the country and dealing with the war history. I have written this thesis for my master’s degree in Human Geography: Cultural Geography & Tourism at the Radboud University, Nijmegen. I went to stay in the capital of Kosovo, Pristina, for three months and experienced what it is like to live there instead of just being a tourist. I hope this thesis can be of value to the person reading it. Sarah Driessen Gendt, 7 August, 2018 Driessen s4361954/2 ⁕ Summary ⁕ This research looks at the possibility of offering a war tour in Kosovo as a way to handle the war history of the country as a tour operator. Kosovo has a negative image among Dutch people, which is mostly caused by the country’s war history.

Before its independence, Kosovo is an autonomous province under Serbia, which was part of Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY). Kosovo has a long history of conflicts since the occupation of Turkish Ottoman Empire in Balkan Peninsula area until the recent one was the Kosova War in 1998 – 1999. As a post-conflict society, Prishtina is suffering from several urban challenges. One of these challenges is road safety issue indicated by increasing the number of traffic accidents in Prishtina and even nationwide. National government considered this situation as unusual for European countries. This study aimed to answer a research question on how the road safety is perceived from two main perspectives, which are road users (pedestrians and cyclists) and stakeholders in the producer’s level of road safety strategy in Prishtina. This study was conducted in urban zone of Prishtina, which is also the case study, with the regards to the increasing number of traffic accidents, which involve pedestrians and cyclists, as the vulnerable road users.
