Kosovo is still struggling with many problems and there are enough reasons for people to be unhappy. Jobs are scarce and the economy is not growing fast enough to support a young population. Policy disagreements between UNMIK and the Kosovo Institutions have weakened the credibility of all governing institutions and, in turn, created the impression that Kosovo is going nowhere and cannot off er any future to its young people.

  • Contemporary Changes in the Ethnic Structure of the Population in the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija
    Bulletin of Natural Sciences Research DOI: https://doi.org/10.5937/bnsr10-25625 Vol. 10, No. 2, 2020, pp. 23-27. Original Scientific Paper CONTEMPORARY CHANGES IN THE ETHNIC STRUCTURE OF THE POPULATION IN THE AUTONOMOUS PROVINCE OF KOSOVO AND METOHIJA SAŠA MILOSAVLJEVIĆ1, JOVO MEDOJEVIĆ1 1Faculty of Sciences, University in Priština – Kosovska Mtrovica, Kosovska Mtrovica, Serbia ABSTRACT Twenty years (1999 - 2019) after the end of the conflict in the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija, it can be stated that nowhere in Europe is there such ethnic segregation of the population as is the case with the AP of Kosovo and Metohija. Following the withdrawal of pumped security forces from the entire territory of Kosovo and Metohija and the entry of the United Nations peacekeeping force into the Serbian Autonomous Province, Kosovo Albanians carried out their persecution from Kosovo through terrorist attacks on Serbs and other non- Albanian populations (Montenegrins, Gorans, Roma, Ashkali) carried out their persecution from Kosovo and Metohija and fundamentally changed the ethnic structure of the Province. An insight into the majority of 223.081 exiles and displaced persons from Kosovo and Metohija indicates an exodus against the Serbs. The number of displaced Roma, Ashkali and Egyptians is estimated at about 100.000. The mass persecution of the Serb and other non-Albanian populations has resulted in tremendous changes in the ethnic structure of the Province, which today, with 93% of the total population, is dominated by Albanians, while other ethnic communities have a participation of 7%.

The same tendencies have continued to this day, along INTRODUCTION with the desecration of cemeteries, stoning and burning of the returnees’ homes (Medojević & Milosavljević, 2019a).

  • Kosovo: Durable Solutions Still Elusive 13 Years After Conflict
    10 October 2012 KOSOVO Durable solutions still elusive 13 years after conflict The number of internally displaced people (IDPs) in Kosovo has dropped slightly in recent years. A September 2012 estimate by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) put the figure at 17,900, compared with around 19,700 in 2009. Most ethnic Serb IDPs live in northern Kosovo, where they rely on a system of education, policing and health care services provided entirely by Serbia. Many others live in enclaves in areas where their ethnic group constitutes a majority, but where they often face restrictions on their freedom of movement and have little access to livelihoods and services. For many internally displaced people, return to Container camp in Gracanica Serb enclave with high proportion of elderly displaced their place of origin is not a viable option after people (Photo: IDMC, May 2009) 13 years of displacement, and the prospects for durable solutions are limited. Many still face ob- stacles in obtaining personal and property documents from their places of origin, and in repossessing their property or getting compensation for it. Widespread discrimination against Serbs and Roma people has made it difficult for them to return to areas where they constitute a minority. National and international actors have set up projects to facilitate the return and reintegration of people displaced both within and beyond Kosovo, to help members of minority communities improve their living conditions whether they are displaced or not, and to prevent further displacement. That said, greater political and financial support for settlement options beyond return (local integration and settlement elsewhere) are needed if IDPs are to achieve durable solutions.

  • Godišnji Izveštaj O RADU ZA 2014
    Godišnji izveštaj O RADU ZA 2014 Uvodna reč predsednika Borda RTK-a RTK, kao jedini javni emiter Kosova, ostaje u službi šire javnosti, u oblasti medijske delatnosti, realizujući svoju informativnu, obrazovnu, kulturnu i zabavnu misiju. Ovo postiže donoseći javnosti raznovrstan sadržaj, putem kanala i raznih platformi. U tehnološkom aspektu, RTK je bio primoran da sledi svetska postignuća i brze promene, što je moglo da oteža realizovanje njegove misije zbog siromašnog budžeta, što ne obećava realizaciju programa koji je dovoljan i kvalitetan. U 2014. RTK postiže vidljive uspehe u sadržaju, proširujući tematske kanale, ali i u tehničkom i infrastrukturnom aspektu, uprkos finansijskim poteškoćama koje prate RTK od 2011. zbog skraćenja budžeta. Počevši od ovog, mi smo kao Bord tražili od Generalnog direktora da prioritet u ovoj godini bude saniranje finansijskog stanja. Odlučni smo da osiguramo da RTK efikasno koristi budžet, ali je količina aktuelnih prihoda u potpunoj suprotnosti sa potrebama javnog servisa. Stoga, u skladu sa zakonskom obavezom dostavili smo Odboru za medije Skupštine Kosova tri predloga za održivo finansiranje, koncetrišući se na finansiranje iz budžeta Kosova, kao trenutno jedinog mogućeg rešenja. Za ovakav način finansiranja dobili smo podršku i EBU-a, koji kaže da nije model već iznos finansiranja odlučujući za garantovanje uredničke nezavisnosti i kvalitetan program, u skladu sa javnim interesom. Naš cilj je da se publika RTK-a može osloniti na programsku ponudu, drugačiju u odnosu na komercijalni sektor, a u skladu sa programskim obavezama koje proizilaze iz Zakona o RTK-u. Stalno smo od Menadžmenta tražili da se ponaša u skladu sa programskim obavezama, iako su određeni sektori povremeno bili poneti potrebom da imaju što više gledalaca, slušalaca ili posetilaca na internet strani.
