Band 12 / 2018 Band 12 / 2018 The EU’s Western Balkan strategy is gaining a new and positive momentum. However, this development leads to the question how to deal with the challenges lying ahead for overcoming blockades and improving intra-state/neighbourhood relations in South East Europe. This general issue was comprehensively Overcoming Blockades and analysed by the Study Group “Regional Stability in South East Europe” at its 36th Workshop. Improving Intra-State Thus it appears that South East Europe, and especially the peace consolidating Western Balkans, seems to be at a decisive Neighbourhood Relations in South East Europe crossroads once again. This will either lead to the substantial improvement of intra-state and regional relations among future EU members or will prolong nationalistic, anti-democratic and exclusive policies, thereby harming also EU integration as the core consolidation tool in the Western Balkans.

The Workshop was conducted in Reichenau/Austria, from 3 to 6 May, 2018. Under the over- arching title “Overcoming Blockades and Improving Intra-State/ Neighbourhood Relations in South East Europe” 40 experts from the South East European region and other parts of Europe, international or- ganizations and major stake holder nations met under the umbrella of the PfP Consortium of Defense Academies and Security Studies Institutes and the Austrian Ministry of Defence, represented through its National De- fence Academy and the Directorate General for Security Policy. Being faced with the forthcoming Brexit and attempts by Russia, China and Turkey to extend their influence in this part of Europe, the EU through its Commission strategy in February offered to the Western Balkan countries “a historic window of opportunity to firmly and unequivocally bind their future to the European Union”. According to this document a realistic membership perspective for 2025 was promised to Montenegro and Serbia, which are already negotiating candidate countries. In consideration of their progress in implementing reforms and fulfilling conditions the other West- ern Balkan countries should follow. Besides credible efforts in applying EU standards and reforms (regarding the rule of law, fundamental rights and governance reconciliation) good neighbourly relations and regional cooperation are listed by the EU Com- mission as further prerequisites for accession. Against this background, the Workshop and thus the articles presented here dealt and deal with the fol- lowing key questions: Which factors are responsible for the circumstance that in some parts of South East Europe the consolidation of intra-state and neighbourhood relations have suffered setbacks or remain trapped in stagnation in recent past? 5 Which steps have to be taken by regional and international actors to support overcoming of blockade policies and improve both in- tra-state and neighbourhood relations in South East Europe? To what extent can the EU’s reaffirmed enlargement strategy for the Western Balkans be used to consolidate intra-regional relations in a more intensive way? The covered topics in this Study Group information range from conceptual and theoretical views about constructive and effective negotiating, the issue of cooperation and antagonism in the “Post-Dayton-Triangle” Bosnia and Herzegovina – Croatia – Serbia to the triangle of regional (in)stability be- tween Belgrade, Prishtina/Priština and Tirana as well as specific domestic and regional challenges of single countries, in particular the Former Yugo- slav Republic of Macedonia. The editor would like to express his thanks to all authors who contributed papers to this volume of the Study Group Information. He is pleased to present the analyses and recommendations to the valued readers and would appreciate if this Study Group Information could contribute to generate positive ideas for supporting the still challenging processes of consolidating peace in South East Europe. Special thanks go to Veronika Fuchshuber, Benedikt Hensellek and Raffaela Woller, who supported this publication as facilitating editors. 6 Abstract South East Europe, and especially the peace consolidating Western Bal- kans, seems to be at a decisive crossroads once again. This will either lead to the substantial improvement of intra-state and regional relations among future EU members or will prolong nationalistic, anti-democratic and ex- clusive policies, thereby harming also EU integration as the core consolida- tion tool in the Western Balkans. The opportunities to support the cooper- ative scenario were discussed at the 36th Workshop of the Study Group “Regional Stability in South East Europe”. Against the background of a new and positive momentum regarding EU’s Western Balkan strategy the contributions in this Study Group Information deal with the challenges lying ahead for overcoming blockades and improv- ing intra-state/neighbourhood relations in South East Europe. The covered topics in this Study Group information range from conceptual and theoretical views about constructive and effective negotiating, the issue of cooperation and antagonism in the “Post-Dayton-Triangle” Bosnia and Herzegovina – Croatia – Serbia to the triangle of regional (in)stability be- tween Belgrade, Prishtina/Priština and Tirana as well as specific domestic and regional challenges of single countries, in particular the Former Yugo- slav Republic of Macedonia. 7 PART I: CONCEPTUAL AND THEORETICAL VIEWS 9 Constructive and Effective Negotiating in South East Europe Plamen Pantev Let me start this paper with the reminder that in 2018 the region of South East Europe is no longer the “powder keg” of Europe and the world.

We are periodically evaluating the state of play in the implementation of agreements reached in the Brussels dialogue, in order to highlight progress and challenges of this process and share our views on the way forward for better progress in implementation. We believe that commitment on implementation of agreements by all parties is the only way to ensure reliability with what was agreed and signed in the Brussels political and technical dialogue. I hope that this Report (as previous ones) will help to consider further opportunities and incentives for advancing the overall process of implementation of all agreements reached in the technical and political dialogue. A particular focus is placed to the Brussels Agreement on normalization of relations of 19 April 2013. The Report covers period from 1 October 2014 to 20 March 2015, where different from earlier periods, the implementation process did not make any significant progress. The most important development is the Agreement on Justice Implementation reached on 9-10 February 2015

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.

  • Solar Energy Potential in Kosovo Pilot Study of Installation with Photovoltaic Modules at the University of Prishtina

    Solar Energy Potential in Kosovo Pilot Study of Installation with Photovoltaic Modules at the University of Prishtina

    EXAMENSARBETE INOM TEKNIK, GRUNDNIVÅ, 15 HP STOCKHOLM, SVERIGE 2020 Solar Energy Potential In Kosovo Pilot study of installation with photovoltaic modules at The University of Prishtina MERGIM JAKUPI MAXWELL MINOTTA CUERVO KTH SKOLAN FÖR ARKITEKTUR OCH SAMHÄLLSBYGGNAD Abstract The Republic of Kosovo, and its 1.8 million inhabitants, is heavily reliant on two highly pollutive lignite coal-fired power plants, Kosova A and Kosova B for energy generation. The coal-fired power plants, that cover 91% of the energy generation, are reaching the end of their operational life and are in need of either restoration or discontinuation. This implies that Kosovo is in need of energy alternatives for a more flexible energy system which could open opportunities for renewable energy. Solar power in Kosovo is still at a low percentage of less than 1%, and its future penetration is being held back by lack of investments and underdeveloped regulatory framework. Affordable and reliable energy, from solar power, could reduce poverty, lower unemployment, boost economic growth and improve people's health in Kosovo. This coincides with the sustainability goals set by the UN Agenda 2030 and specifically goal 7, ‘Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern ​ energy for all’. ​ The aim of the project was to design a techno-economically optimal PV-system at The University of Prishtina and to investigate the potential technical, social and economic impacts of implementing PV-systems in Kosovo to help achieve the UN 2030 Agenda, specifically SDG 7. The project consists of a quantitative part where simulations were done with the System Advisor Model (SAM) in order to calculate the energy generation and profitability of installing photovoltaic modules at The University of Prishtina with different policy-schemes.
