Although an issue cru- cially affecting the interests of the Kosovar citizen in general, decentralisation in Kosovo has remained integrally tied to inter-community politics, and all the more so following the inter-ethnic violence of March 2004. While recognising that local government reform is an issue that crucially affects the interests of ethnic communities, KIPRED’s researchers took the view that the decen- tralisation debate ought not to be narrowed to the point of ignoring the interests of other social and economic groups, and those of the citizen in general. Hence, as well as examining local government in relation to ethnic communities, this report also con- siders some broader issues of municipal governance, administration and finance. KIPRED’s research found that a territorial division of current municipalities will, in general, not improve the local autonomy of most ethnic communities because the majority of them are either already concentrated in municipalities in which they are numerically dominant or are too dispersed to form a compact territorial unit. Hence, rather than treating decentralisation as a panacea for all troubles affecting Kosovo’s eth- nic minorities, efforts should be placed to develop mechanisms that can strengthen the voice of communities in the current municipal system. Mechanisms that provide com- munities extra security at local level are to be welcomed, although they must be devel- oped in conjunction with other measures provided at the central level. Another finding is that the performance of local governments and administrations in Kosovo is critically affected by political dynamics at local level, encompassing inter- and intra-party rivalries as well as relations with central party organisations. Our conclusion is that in municipalities with political disagreements, the main point of contention between actors tends to be the control of executive positions of the municipal admin- istration. Such political conflicts are detrimental to the efficient and effective function- ing of municipalities, as well as harming the voters’ long-term trust and confidence in KOSOVAR INSTITUTE FOR POLICY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT 1 Local Government and Administration

  • Contemporary Changes in the Ethnic Structure of the Population in the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija
    Bulletin of Natural Sciences Research DOI: https://doi.org/10.5937/bnsr10-25625 Vol. 10, No. 2, 2020, pp. 23-27. Original Scientific Paper CONTEMPORARY CHANGES IN THE ETHNIC STRUCTURE OF THE POPULATION IN THE AUTONOMOUS PROVINCE OF KOSOVO AND METOHIJA SAŠA MILOSAVLJEVIĆ1, JOVO MEDOJEVIĆ1 1Faculty of Sciences, University in Priština – Kosovska Mtrovica, Kosovska Mtrovica, Serbia ABSTRACT Twenty years (1999 - 2019) after the end of the conflict in the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija, it can be stated that nowhere in Europe is there such ethnic segregation of the population as is the case with the AP of Kosovo and Metohija. Following the withdrawal of pumped security forces from the entire territory of Kosovo and Metohija and the entry of the United Nations peacekeeping force into the Serbian Autonomous Province, Kosovo Albanians carried out their persecution from Kosovo through terrorist attacks on Serbs and other non- Albanian populations (Montenegrins, Gorans, Roma, Ashkali) carried out their persecution from Kosovo and Metohija and fundamentally changed the ethnic structure of the Province. An insight into the majority of 223.081 exiles and displaced persons from Kosovo and Metohija indicates an exodus against the Serbs. The number of displaced Roma, Ashkali and Egyptians is estimated at about 100.000. The mass persecution of the Serb and other non-Albanian populations has resulted in tremendous changes in the ethnic structure of the Province, which today, with 93% of the total population, is dominated by Albanians, while other ethnic communities have a participation of 7%. Кeywords: Population, Ethnicity, Kosovo and Metohija. destroyed. The same tendencies have continued to this day, along INTRODUCTION with the desecration of cemeteries, stoning and burning of the returnees’ homes (Medojević & Milosavljević, 2019a).

  • Developments As Regards the Future Status of Kosovo
    Parliamentary Assembly Assemblée parlementaire Doc. 11472 3 January 2008 Developments as regards the future status of Kosovo Report Political Affairs Committee Rapporteur: Lord Russell-Johnston, United Kingdom, Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Summary The solution of the Kosovo status process is a fundamental element for ensuring peace and long-term stability in Europe. In its previous texts, the Assembly affirmed the importance of reaching a mutually-accepted solution. At the same time, it has also constantly stressed that the undecided status of Kosovo casts uncertainty over the further political stabilisation of the entire region, including its perspective of European integration; it affects its economic recovery; it prevents displaced persons and refugees from Kosovo from reaching a decision whether to return to their homes; it has a negative impact on the consolidation of a fully-responsible and accountable political leadership and hampers the full attainment of the Standards for Kosovo. In the light of more than two years of unfruitful efforts, the report concludes that the potential for finding a compromise has been exhausted. The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) should, therefore, overcome existing differences and impose a solution. Should the UNSC be incapable of achieving a unanimous position, the possibility that the Kosovo Assembly resorts to a Unilateral Declaration of Independence is not to be excluded. In this case, European Union member states should achieve a single position. The parties concerned are urged to continue to act in a responsible manner, keep their pledge to preserve peace and dialogue in all circumstances and refrain from any incitement to violence.
