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.

    Page 1 of 2 Print Freedom Of The Press - Kosovo (2011) Status: Partly Free Legal Environment: 14 Political Environment: 19 Economic Environment: 18 Total Score: 51 Article 40 of the constitution provides for freedom of expression, but the lack of international consensus on Kosovo’s independence hinders efforts to improve democratization and protect political, civil, and media rights. A weak judiciary and underdeveloped civil society present further obstacles for media freedom. Defamation and insult remain part of the criminal code, although the penalties do not include imprisonment and journalists are infrequently targeted for prosecution. Freedom of information legislation has not been properly implemented. Broadcast media are regulated by the Independent Media Commission (IMC), whose board had two vacancies beginning in March that went unfilled by the Assembly. In August, the IMC approved 12 new long-term broadcast licenses. The government has begun amending the IMC law, and it remains to be seen whether the independence of the IMC will be preserved during this process. Broadcasters in the Serb-controlled north of the country are not licensed by the commission. Print media self-regulate through the Press Council, which can require newspapers to print the text of judgments against them. According to new rules adopted in January, the Press Council can no longer issue fines. Security remains a serious concern for media workers, and there were several reported incidents of violence in 2010. On two occasions, the editor of Radio Kosovska Mitrovica in Zvečan, Caslav Milisavljevic, reported that explosive devices were thrown outside his home. No one was injured, but several cars, including one belonging to Milisavljevic’s son, were damaged or destroyed.

This has become an established tradition over the years. A television screen was purchased for the use of asylum seekers and it was promptly used to broad- cast the World Refugee Day message of Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie. This was warmly re- ceived by the assembled guests. The national TV stations, TOP Channel and TVSH, broadcast the spots 10 times during peak hours. This reached around 500,000 viewers. ARMENIA A press tour was organised for the media and representatives from refugee-populated areas. The tour included meetings with local authorities, members of civil society, social workers, refugees and naturalised former refugees. Meanwhile, from June 19-21 all TV channels broadcast pro- grammes highlighting refugee issues. Armenian newspapers also printed articles linked to WRD and many of these were also run online. UNHCR and Armenia PR Association organised a fund-raising campaign to collect donations for a summer camp for the most vulnerable refugee children living in communal centres. As a result, some 25 refugee children spent 14 days in a picturesque area of Armenia. To promote the ninemillion.org campaign, UNHCR and the Ar- menian Red Cross Society organised sightseeing tours for the children of asylum seekers.
