Theoretically, it should have covered “all” areas, but the current Kosovo statistical system is non all- inclusive. Kosovo Statistical Office (SOK) is planning to have this publication annually published in the future. The aim of this publication is that the basic statistical data on social and economic situation in Kosovo be available to a large number of readers. Users who need more detailed statistical data or information on available publications, as well as want to get familiar with the SOK activities, can find more information on the SOK website: www.ks-gov.net/esk. The said project is a continuous contribution and work of Distribution Statistics staff headed by the Senior Officer on horizontal publications, Drita Sylejmani and the Distribution Manager, Servete Muriqi.

  • Reforms and Governance Within the Higher Education System of Kosovo
    Reforms and Governance within the Higher Education System of Kosovo By Granit Jakupi Submitted to Central European University Department of Economics In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Economic Policy in Global Markets Supervisor: Professor Lajos Bokros CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2013 i ABSTRACT A number of studies worldwide, for several decades, have placed considerable importance on higher education when analyzing the potential that this system has in improving the economic development and mitigating the poverty among developing countries. This thesis investigates how the higher education system is affecting the unemployment level among educated workforce. It has been structured using a descriptive study design by mapping out the issues and providing solutions from the perspective of policy makers responsible for the higher education system. The theoretical framework has been derived based on institutional theories of higher education and literature on human capital. The core findings from this study resulted from extensive field research and analysis of statistics. The results suggest that the higher education system in Kosovo is poorly structured and it is identified as the main contributor to the unemployment level among educated workforce. Additionally, those findings suggest that the root, risks, and response is located to central institutions and it is in their hands to tackle the issue of jobless graduates within the country of Kosovo. Finally, the policy recommendations are formed following the data suggestions and they represent joint efforts of higher education institutions to undertake policy reforms in restructuring and improving the system. CEU eTD Collection ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my gratitude for Professor Lajos Bokros, for his enthusiastic encouragement, patient guidance, and valuable critiques through this thesis work as well as my studies at the Central European University.

  • European Union Election Expert Mission Kosovo 2021 Final Report
    European Union Election Expert Mission Kosovo 2021 Final Report Early Legislative Elections 14 February 2021 The Election Expert Missions are independent from the institutions of the European Union. The views and opinions expressed in this report are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the official policy and position of the European Union. European Union Election Expert Mission Kosovo* Early Legislative Elections – 14th February 2021 Final report I. SUMMARY Elections were held for the 120-member unicameral Kosovo Assembly on 14th February 2021. As with the four previous legislative elections since Kosovo’s 2008 declaration of independence, these were early elections provoked by a political crisis. The elections were competitive, and campaign freedoms were generally respected. There was a vibrant campaign, except in the Kosovo Serb areas. Despite a very short timeframe and challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Central Election Commission (CEC) administered the elections well and in a transparent manner, although problems with Out of Kosovo voting reduced confidence in that part of the process. Election day was assessed by local observers as orderly, with voters participating in high numbers. However, as with previous elections, the process deteriorated during the vote count and a large number of recounts were ordered due to discrepancies in the results protocols. Such long-standing systemic problems, which have been identified in previous EU EOMs, should be addressed to enable Kosovo to fully meet international standards for democratic elections. These elections were held in an increasingly polarised atmosphere, influenced by the turbulent political developments since the last legislative elections.
