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.

    Reforms and Governance Within the Higher Education System of Kosovo

    Reforms and Governance within the Higher Education System of Kosovo By Granit Jakupi Submitted to Central European University Department of Economics In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Economic Policy in Global Markets Supervisor: Professor Lajos Bokros CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2013 i ABSTRACT A number of studies worldwide, for several decades, have placed considerable importance on higher education when analyzing the potential that this system has in improving the economic development and mitigating the poverty among developing countries. This thesis investigates how the higher education system is affecting the unemployment level among educated workforce. It has been structured using a descriptive study design by mapping out the issues and providing solutions from the perspective of policy makers responsible for the higher education system. The theoretical framework has been derived based on institutional theories of higher education and literature on human capital. The core findings from this study resulted from extensive field research and analysis of statistics. The results suggest that the higher education system in Kosovo is poorly structured and it is identified as the main contributor to the unemployment level among educated workforce. Additionally, those findings suggest that the root, risks, and response is located to central institutions and it is in their hands to tackle the issue of jobless graduates within the country of Kosovo. Finally, the policy recommendations are formed following the data suggestions and they represent joint efforts of higher education institutions to undertake policy reforms in restructuring and improving the system. CEU eTD Collection ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my gratitude for Professor Lajos Bokros, for his enthusiastic encouragement, patient guidance, and valuable critiques through this thesis work as well as my studies at the Central European University.

    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.

Executive Summary After three years of independence much progress has been made in Kosovo, but many challenges remain for the new country.
