A brief overview of the institution under evaluation The Foundation of Higher Education Studies in Mitrovica were set up in 1961 by opening the Technical High School. In 1970, the Mining, Technology and Metallurgy branches were opened within the Technical Faculty, initially in Mitrovica (1970/71 academic year), then in Pristina. According to the the Law of the Assembly of Kosovo, the Faculty of Mining and Metallurgy in Mitrovica was established on July 22, 1974. As a result, the studies were organized in Mining, Technology and Metallurgy areas, whereas the Geology area was opened in the 1980/81 academic year. Based on the tradition in higher education in Mitrovica and the faculties’ achievements, the Government of the Republic of Kosovo established the Public University of Mitrovica (hereafter also referred to as „UMIB”, „the university” or „the institution”) on March 6, 2013 and the Kosovo Assembly ratified the decision on 31 May 2013. The University of Mitrovica organizes its activity at a campus spread out over 17.67.75 hectares. The faculties are accommodated in one building with a total surface of 15386 m2, while the staff of the rectorate and the central administration are hosted in one building with a surface of 2197 m2. Within the university campus there are one amphitheatre, labs, classrooms, library spaces, reading rooms and academic staff cabinets. According to the Provisional Statute approved by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MEST), there are six faculties within UMIB - Faculty of Geosciences, Faculty of Food Technology, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science, Faculty of Law, Faculty of Economics and Faculty of Education – where the students can pursue one of the 18 study programs in the first and second cycle of higher education studies, bachelor and masters. 2. INSTITUTIONAL EVALUATION The institutional evaluation consists of 11 sub headings through which the administration, organisation and management of the institution, as well as teaching and research are assessed. 2.1. Public mission and institutional objectives According to the SER, the mission statement of the institution is as follows: • To act as a leading center for the advancement of knowledge, ideas and science in Kosovo’ s higher education system; AKA | Qendra e Studentëve, kati 2-të, 10000 Prishtinë, Kosovë Tel. +381 38 213722 | Fax +381 38 213087 | www.akreditimi-ks.org 5 Republika e Kosovës Republika Kosova - Republic of Kosovo Agjencia e Kosovës për Akreditim Agencija Kosova za Akreditaciju Kosovo Accreditation Agency • To play the leading role in the enhancement of education, science, culture, society and the economy of Kosovo; • To assist in the process of promoting civic democracy; • To seek to create and support the highest standards in teaching and learning, scientific research and artistic work; • To utilize its resources in the most efficient way; • To fully cooperate and participate in all higher educational activities at the regional, national, and international levels; • To adjust European standards; • To fully integrate into the European Area of Higher Education (in line with the Bologna Declaration, the Lisbon Recognition Convention and the European Research Area) and to take the appropriate reform steps necessary to achieve this objective; • To create and transmit knowledge, and to develop and protect it through teaching, research and innovation, as well as through other services in the fields of educational sciences. The mission statement of UMIB is 53% identical (copied and pasted, according to Microsoft word version comparison tool) with the mission statement of another public university in Kosovo, while the large majority of the remaining words are synonyms. The ET is unsure which institution got inspired from the other one, but is aware of the national context of the 6 branches of University of Pristina that were established as autonomous public universities in the past years, which could have influenced this similarity. However, the ET still considers this practice as being unethical and is surprised to find this at a university level, and with something as important as the mission statement. Moreover, considering the tradition and the specifics of UMIB programs, the ET

    LIMITS OF ETHNIC BARGAINING: SERBIAN ENCLAVES IN KOSOVO By Bojan Elek Submitted to Central European University Department of International Relations and European Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Professor Erin Kristin Jenne CEU eTD Collection Word Count: 17,031 Budapest, Hungary 2013 Abstract This paper examines the processes of status bargaining of two Serbian enclaves in Kosovo with the central government in Pristina. It develops a middle range theoretical model of enclave bargaining in order to account for different claims advanced against the center, by focusing on different practices and institutions of ethnic enclaves. Ethnic groups are largely viewed as unitary actors by dominant theories on claim making. This research shows that these groups are sometimes fragmented and have divergent interests, depending on their territorial position and demographic patterns. The changes in radicalization of enclavised ethnic groups are explained as a function of their bargaining leverage, which depends on the incentives offered to these enclaves by their external lobby actors and the host government.

Vladimir Randáček Supervisor: Prof. PhDr. Lenka Rovná, CSc. Opponent: Prof. Dr. Wilfried von Bredow (Philipps-Universität Marburg) Year: 2008 Hodnocení: Bibliographic Notation RANDÁČEK, Vladimír. The OSCE Verification Mission 1998-1999. Prague: UCharles University, Faculty of Social Sciences, Institute of International Studies, 2008. 120 s. Supervisor Prof. PhDr. Lenka Rovná, CSc., Opponent Prof. Wilfried von Bredow (Philipps-Universität Marburg). Annotation The OSCE Kosovo Verification mission (KVM) was established in October 1998, in order to verify the compliance with the UN Security Council Resolutions relevant to the Kosovo conflict. The breakdown of the peace process in March 1999, lead to the withdrawal of the mission and painted it as a failure. It is surprising, how many authors speak about a failure of the KVM, while giving no reasonable argumentation. This study will try to show, that this negative assessment is largely a product of misinterpretation of the KVM´s mandate and misunderstanding of the very purpose of verification (observation) missions. It was not the task of the KVM to prevent the ceasefire violations, neither to provide a peaceful solution to the conflict. It was to verify (observe) the compliance with the UN Security Council Resolutions. Verification (observation) missions do not seek any concrete achievements (mission goals; as e.g. peacekeeping or peace enforcement missions), their “goal” is their performance.
