  • The Establishment of New Municipalities in Kosovo Budgetary Implications and Financial Self- Sustainability
    July 2013 The establishment of new Municipalities in Kosovo Budgetary implications and financial self- sustainability EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Following the local elections held in 2000, 30 municipalities became functional as basic units of local self-government. In 2005 UNMIK administration initiated the pilot project for establishment of new municipalities. Hani i Elezit, Junik dhe Mamusha, were established as pilot municipalities, whereas after the 2009 local elections acquired the status of municipalities with the right to exercise powers granted to other municipalities. In the meantime, in accordance with the Comprehensive Proposal for the Kosovo Status Settlement, four new municipalities where established, namely Graçanica, Partesh, Kllokot and Ranillug. The existing Law on Administrative Municipal Boundaries (2008) created the framework for establishment of new municipalities. After the 2009 local elections, 11 groups of villages have submitted requests to the Ministry of Local Government Administration (MLGA), acquiring the status of municipality. Until May 2013, when the Kosovo Government decides to create two new municipalities in the Has region, these requests were not taken into consideration. However, current decisions for the establishment of new municipalities and promises for establishment of additional new ones, are not based on adequate assessment of relevant ministries, as required by the Law on Administrative Municipal Boundaries. Although, the legal basis for establishment of new municipalities is not sufficient, ten requests of groups of villages submitted to the MLGA do not comply not even with the existing legal requirements set forth in the Law on Administrative Municipal Boundaries. The basic criteria on the minimum size of population and territory that each municipality should fulfill, is not provided.

  • Student Movements: 1968, 1981 and 1997 the Impact Of
    Student Movements: 1968, 1981 and 1997 The impact of students in mobilizing society to chant for the Republic of Kosovo Atdhe Hetemi Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of East European Languages and Cultures Supervisor Prof. dr. Rozita Dimova Department of East European Languages and Cultures Dean Prof. dr. Gita Deneckere Rector Prof. dr. Rik Van de Walle October 2019 i English Summary This dissertation examines the motives and central visions of three student demonstrations, each taking place within different historical and political contexts and each organized by a different generation of Kosovo Albanian students. The years 1968, 1981 and 1997 witnessed a proliferation of student mobilizations as collective responses demanding more national rights for Albanians in Kosovo. I argue that the students' main vision in all three movements was the political independence of Kosovo. Given the complexity of the students' goal, my analysis focuses on the influence and reactions of domestic and foreign powers vis-à-vis the University of Prishtina (hereafter UP), the students and their movements. Fueled by their desire for freedom from Serbian hegemony, the students played a central role in "preserving" and passing from one generation to the next the vision of "Republic" status for Kosovo. Kosova Republikë or the Republic of Kosovo (hereafter RK) status was a demand of all three student demonstrations, but the students' impact on state creation has generally been underestimated by politicians and public figures. Thus, the primary purpose of this study is to unearth the various and hitherto unknown or hidden roles of higher education – then the UP – and its students in shaping Kosovo's recent history.
