Theoretically, it should have covered “all” areas, but the current Kosovo statistical system is non all- inclusive. Kosovo Statistical Office (SOK) is planning to have this publication annually published in the future. The aim of this publication is that the basic statistical data on social and economic situation in Kosovo be available to a large number of readers. Users who need more detailed statistical data or information on available publications, as well as want to get familiar with the SOK activities, can find more information on the SOK website: www.ks-gov.net/esk. The said project is a continuous contribution and work of Distribution Statistics staff headed by the Senior Officer on horizontal publications, Drita Sylejmani and the Distribution Manager, Servete Muriqi. The statistical data presented in this publication originate from SOK surveys, as well as other data produced by the departments of production statistics. Any comments on this publication are welcome in order to improve the future versions of this publication Acting SOK Chief Executive Officer January, 2006 Ramiz Ulaj 1 Kosovo in figures 2005 List of Abbreviations HBS Households Budget Survey (SOK) AHS Agricultural Household Survey RHE Regional Health Authority DHS Demographic and Health Survey (SOK) EAR European Agency for Reconstruction LFS Labor Force Survey (SOK) LSMS Living Standard Measurement Survey EU European Union BPK Banking and Payment Authority of Kosovo GDP Gross Domestic Product € Euro SOK Statistical Office of Kosovo FSOY Federal Statistical Office of Yugoslavia IMF International Monetary Fund HQ Headquarters NPHI National Public Health Institution ILO International Labor Organization KEK Electro-energetic Corporation of Kosovo CCK Criminal Code of Kosovo KFOR Kosovo Force CEO Chief Executive Officer CLY Criminal Law of Yugoslavia MAFRD Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Rural Development MFE Ministry of Finance and Economy MLSW Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare MPS Ministry of Public Services MH Ministry of Health WHO World Health Organization OSCE Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe PTK Post of Telecommunications of Kosovo FMDC Family Medicine Development Center t Ton UNFPA UN Population found UNICEF United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund UNMIK United Nations Mission in Kosovo : not available 2 Kosovo in figures 2005 Table of contents 1 Geographic and weather information on Kosovo ...................... …..5 2 Population........................................................................................9 3 Elections ........................................................................................14 4 Education.......................................................................................17 5 Culture ...........................................................................................22 6 Justice............................................................................................25 7 Income and consumption ..........................................................29 8 Social conditions............................................................................32 9 Health.............................................................................................41 10 Labour market and wages.............................................................44 11 Agriculture and Forestry...............................................................49 12 Electricity .....................................................................................57 13 Transport and communication......................................................61 14 External Trade of Kosovo.............................................................63 15 Prices ...........................................................................................65 16 National accounts and payment balance .....................................74 17 Financial markets .........................................................................76 3 Kosovo in figures 2005 1 Geographic and weather information on Kosovo Kosovo is a small and landlocked territory in the centre of the Balkans Peninsula.
