  • Protection of Author's Moral Rights in Kosovo 1. Introduction
    JURIDICA (Lack of) Protection of Author’s Moral Rights in Kosovo Armend Ahmeti1 Abstract: In Kosovo we have many young artists, writers, singers, actors, photographers, architects, painters and sculptors, who are young, talented and special, which amaze you with their works. The applicable law recognizes the aforementioned authors certain rights over their works (thore are property, moral and other rights). But the problem is that the protection of the moral rights of the author is problematic in Kosovo. This protection is missing or is very pale. As a hypothesis of this paper I have decided: the differencies between the moral and property rights of the author, the non- implementation and reasons of non-implementation of the moral rights of the author in Kosovo, the need for a deeper legal reform in this regard. The scientific methods I have used to come to conclusions are the method of research, analysis, especially the method of analysis of legislation, the method of comparison etc. Keywords: author; property rights; moral rights; other rights; legal reform; non-implementation of moral rights 1. Introduction Kosovo, in terms of legal infrastructure, we can say that it has progressed far since its declaration of independence in 2008 by the Assembly of Kosovo. Kosovo now has a modern constitution, there are many laws and sub-legal acts that regulate different fields, in this regard also the field of intellectual property, namely the field of copyright. Kosovo protects the right of intellectual property by constitutional provisions (article 46 of the Constitution of Kosovo, approved on 09 April 2008 and entered in to force on 15 June 2008).

  • Report Between the President and Constitutional Court and Its Influence on the Functioning of the Constitutional System in Kosovo Msc
    Report between the President and Constitutional Court and its influence on the functioning of the Constitutional System in Kosovo MSc. Florent Muçaj, PhD Candidate Faculty of Law, University of Prishtina, Kosovo MSc. Luz Balaj, PhD Candidate Faculty of Law, University of Prishtina, Kosovo Abstract This paper aims at clarifying the report between the President and the Constitutional Court. If we take as a starting point the constitutional mandate of these two institutions it follows that their final mission is the same, i.e., the protection and safeguarding of the constitutional system. This paper, thus, will clarify the key points in which this report is expressed. Further, this paper examines the theoretical aspects of the report between the President and the Constitutional Court, starting from the debate over this issue between Karl Schmitt and Hans Kelsen. An important part of the paper will examine the Constitution of Kosovo, i.e., the contents of the constitutional norm and its application. The analysis focuses on the role such report between the two institutions has on the functioning of the constitutional system. In analyzing the case of Kosovo, this paper examines Constitutional Court cases in which the report between the President and the Constitutional Court has been an issue of review. Such cases assist us in clarifying the main theme of this paper. Therefore, the reader will be able to understand the key elements of the report between the President as a representative of the unity of the people on the one hand and the Constitutional Court as a guarantor of constitutionality on the other hand.

  • Vetevendosje
    Lund University STVK01 Department of Political Science Tutor: Anders Uhlin Vetevendosje A minor field study of the Kosovo Albanian resistance movement Ghazal Delafrouz Abstract Vetevendosje is a Kosovo-Albanian social movement which main political demand is self-determination. Social movements most commonly disappear or get institutionalized when reaching their political aim. What is interesting is that Vetevendosje did not follow this pattern. Even though the prime minister of Kosovo declared independence on the 17th of February in 2008, Vetevendosje is still alive and vital. A minor field study was carried out in Kosovo with the purpose of creating deeper understanding for how Vetevendosje managed to survive the political scene of Kosovo. Interviews, informal conversations and observations made it possible to study how political opportunity structures have influenced Vetevendosje’s activities but also the choice of framing strategies, how successful these are and why. When looking closer on the movement’s history, close connection to the civil society, their different actions and campaigns, it is not difficult to discover why they are still alive and remain as a significant political agency in Kosovo. Key words: Kosovo, social movement, Vetevendosje, political opportunity, framing Words: 10086 Table of contents 1 Introduction .........................................................................................................1 1.1 Purpose and delimination ................................................................................1

  • Queering the Migrant in Contemporary European Cinema
    16 Curating queer migrant cinema Interview between Sudeep Dasgupta 1 and James S. Williams JAMES S. WILLIAMS (JW) : How did you become interested in the broad field of queer migration, and could you define your dual approach as theorist and activist? SUDEEP DASGUPTA (SD) : The academic field was determined by my location – wherever I find myself, that’s the starting point from which my interests develop. I was struck by two things when I moved to Amsterdam from the US [University of Pittsburgh] in 1997: I had the sense of being out of place and in the wrong time. Firstly, a strange combination of xeno- phobia with discourses on women’s rights and gay and lesbian rights. That produced a feeling of discomfort, since one presumed that if one was a feminist or queer activist, then xenophobia was not part of one’s programme. Further, the discourse of feminism and gay rights was often articulated by the state and by institutions of the Dutch state unlike in the US, of course. The situation in the Netherlands was quite different. Here, women’s and homosexual rights were institutionalised in a way that had not happened in the US. This sense of being out of place and out of time was connected to my previous research in the US where I began my Ph.D on Hindu nationalism in India. I was in the US watch- ing a documentary on the massacres in 1992 of Muslims in Bombay, my hometown, and finding it incomprehensible how that could have hap- pened. Being out of place in a place one is taught to belong to and yet not really belonging in was crucial for me.

Since the military humanitarian intervention in 1999, reconciliation process initiated by the European Union, U.S., and other members in the international community, began almost immediately after the war, in attempt to bring peace to the former Yugoslav republic and territory. However, little effort has been made in attempt to dissect and analyze the causes of the ethnic conflict, such as patterns of ethnic boundaries, given that ethnic tensions continue to challenge the peace-building process. This thesis research, therefore, investigates ethnic relations and changing ethnic boundaries in Kosovo between the years of 1980 and 2015.

    Recovering Nonviolent History Civil Resistance in Liberation Struggles edited by Maciej J. Bartkowski boulder london 15 Kosovo: Civil Resistance in Defense of the Nation, 1990s Howard Clark Each year on March 5–7, Kosovo celebrates the Epopee of the Kosova Liberation Army (KLA)—the anniversary of the 1998 gun battle in the village of Donji Prekaz where Adem Jashari, a founder of the KLA, and more than fifty of his family members were killed. The Jashari home is now a shrine. The Epopee includes the Night of Flames when fifty fires are lit and a gathering in Prekaz of Kosovo’s leading dignitaries and the uniformed suc - cessors of the KLA (at one time the Kosovo Protection Corps, now the Kosovo Security Force). The main speeches in 2010 were made by the prime minister and president—at that time Hashim Thaçi, a founder of the KLA, and Fatmir Sejdiu, a founder and leader of the Democratic League of Kosova (LDK), the party most associated with the nonviolent struggle. Sejdiu began, On March 5, 1998 . the legendary Commander of the Kosovo Libera - tion Army, Adem Jashari, and his father Shaban and his brother Hamëz, fell on the altar of freedom. That day, besides these three martyrs, many other children and members of Jashari family were deprived of their lives. But, by virtue of their matchless sacrifice, they were decorated with the most precious and gilded crown in the history of our long-lasting war for freedom and independence and turned into an incomparable symbol of sublime self-sacrifice for the homeland.

  • The Early Parliamentary Elections in Kosovo Were Held on 14 February
    AVİM Commentary • No: 2021 / 18 • February 2021 OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES AHEAD OF KOSOVO AFTER THE FEBRUARY 2021 PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS Turgut Kerem TUNCEL Analyst The early parliamentary elections in Kosovo were held on 14 February. On this day, about half of the approximately 1.8 million registered Kosovar voters braving the Covid 19 pandemic and the freezing cold went to polls to elect the 120 members of the new parliament out of more than 1,000 candidates from 28 political entities. According to preliminary results,Lëvizja Vetëvendosje (LVV; En. Self-determination Movement) won approximately 48% of the total votes. Other heavyweights, namely, Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), Democratic League of Kosovo (LDP), and Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) gained about 17%, 13%, and 7%, respectively. Before the elections, various polls indicated that support to the LVV was between 40% and 50%. As such, LVVs victory did not come as a surprise. Yet, despite its overwhelming electoral victory, the LVV could not secure 61 seats in the parliament and lost the chance to form the government by itself. Therefore, what awaits Kosovo is a LVV-led coalition government. As stated earlier, the Kosovo parliament consists of 120 seats. 100 of these seats are shared among the parties that pass the 5% threshold. The remaining 20 seats are reserved for the national minorities. As to the breakdown of these 20 seats, 10 are reserved for the Serbians; 4 for the Roma, Ashkali, and Egyptian; 3 for the Bosniaks, 2 for the Turks, and 1 for the Gorani. Some observers predict that the LVV would form a coalition with minority parties rather than the three aforementioned parties.
