(2018). TEORETICAL APPROACH CONCERNING THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUSTAINABLE TOURISM AS TOURIST DESTINATION IN KOSOVO. GeoJournal of Tourism and Geosites, 22(2), 489–496. https://doi.org/10.30892/gtg.22218-305 Abtract: Tourism is an economic activity or a set of co-ordinated activities aimed at meeting the needs of individuals related to leisure and movement of people. Tourism has a great potential and plays an important role in meeting the main objectives related to, employment, sustainable economic and social development. Kosovo's tourism economy is dominated by small and medium-sized economic operators, while large economic operators are still in the process of privatization, and therefore it is required to find a favorable sectorial strategy that in the long term will ensure the sustainability of tour operators, offering a diversified tourist product. The findings of this study give special importance to institutional challenges that require identification of responsibilities and coordination of all actors involved in the tourism planning and development process. The surveyed tourism region offers critical reviews on how to assist tourism planners to improve their methods in community-based tourism planning and development, while pointing to directions for future research into tourist regions.

This is due to the fact that in the period between the two Censuses (ten years) there are significant changes in the population of a country, municipality or at settlement level, and population estimation is more than necessary for issuing significant socio-economic indicators.

Local budgeting: challenges, obstacles, and inefficiencies 22 VI. Transparency 31 VII. Policy Recommendations 34 I. Introduction A local government budget encompasses a thorough plan to achieve the set goals and objectives of all budgetary organizations and its process incorporates the allocation of scarce resources to various programs and services which in turn makes it the most important activity that the government carries out. The well-integrated budget process leads to far better financial decisions; hence, enhanced government operations/actions. This said, the involvement of various government officials, organizations’ employees, and the public/citizens in general, amongst others, reflects all stakeholders’ essential needs, requirements, and priorities, thus improving public impression of the government.1 Therefore, the aim of this Policy Analysis is to shed light on the main challenges and inefficiencies faced by the municipalities during the budget development and execution process. More precisely, through interviews conducted in six main municipalities of the Republic of Kosovo, the analysis intends to examine the municipalities’ budgetary process and its principles and legal framework, types of budgets used by the government, a comparison of the budget in six municipalities, municipal budget priorities, criteria for budget allocation, citizens’ participation during the public meetings, municipal transparency, and whether there is budget deficit and/or surplus and the motives behind it.

  • ABSTRACT MULAJ, DENIZA. Navigating the Bridge
    ABSTRACT MULAJ, DENIZA. Navigating the Bridge: An Ethnographic Study of Kosovar-Albanian and Serbian Youth Living in the Divided City of Mitrovica, Kosova (Under the guidance of Dr. Shea McManus). This study shows that the daily challenges experienced by the Kosovar-Albanian and Serbian youth are a result of the discord between the projected and real conditions in which they live. The living conditions as projected by international peacebuilding and reconciliation initiatives portray Mitrovica as a post-war society. In contrast, the real conditions experienced by youth render their society a space that produces the same psychological and physical effects of the Kosova-Serbia war. Nonetheless, this study argues that a minority of Kosovar-Albanian and Serbian youth overcome the social barriers of living divided by using NGO projects to escape and create impartial spaces to socialize. While the youth stand as the center of my research, the goal of this paper is not only to show the challenges they go through, but to first and foremost address and analyze the source of these struggles. Standing in a particular historical and temporal frame, it is the Kosovar-Albanian and Serbian youth that display the challenges of living in a divided society, together with the limitations of reconciliation and peacebuilding initiatives. My findings show that fear of ethnic conflict is reproduced by initiatives that physically divide people, namely the militarization of the Ibër Bridge. Further, it demonstrates that despite the willingness of youth to socialize, memories of war cultivated and upheld by their respective communities further strengthen the fear of inter-ethnic conflicts.
