INTRODUCTORY NOTE I am grateful for the opportunity of introducing the assessment of the National Integrity System (NIS). This is the second time that this study has been conducted in Kosovo since 2011. The concept of NIS has been developed and promoted by Transparency International (TI) as part of TI’s holistic approach to combating corruption. This report is an updated version which aims to assess whether there has been any progress in the last four years with regards to the country’s integrity system and identify recommendations and advocacy priorities for improving the country’s integrity system. Regardless that Kosovo institutions have managed to create adequate jurisdiction, not sufficient commitment or priority is invested at practical level to ensure the implementation of the legislation and strengthening of institutional integrity able to confront political interferences. To this regard, the cooperation between institutions is inefficient to guarantee sustainable engagement in combating and reducing corruption. Many institutions do not relish sufficient public confidence whereas civil society continues to criticize the non transparent ap- proach of the institutions and lack of accountability. Hereby institutions are not immune to corruption and kleptocratic actions. The institutional and political rhetoric for good governance shall be build upon concrete improvements and actions of the institutions that guarantee institutional independence, transparency and sustainability in addressing issues of general interest and in helping to achieve better results in fight against corruption. A large number of experts and officials have been instrumental in the preparation of this research project. Whether they reviewed the final report, participated in interviews and workshop activities, provided technical and research assistance, many thanks to them all. The first to acknowledge is the Transparency International (TI) Secretariat in Berlin who had the patience and effort to review our work in progress for more than a year. Particular thanks to Andrew McDevitt, Julia Mager, Tinatin Ninua, Conny Abel, Rebecca Dobson and Julie Anne Miranda-Brobeck who gave immense amount of time and advice during the whole research process. Finalizing this report would have not been possible without the support of Agron Bajrami. He was in charge of editing the report and giving us comments for corrections in terms of language and content. In addition, the list of individuals who gave a great deal of their time and knowledge during the research process are divided as in the following groups: advisory group, focus groups, and interviews. KDI is grateful to all.

Improving governance in Kosovo: Evaluating the Impact of EU Conditionality through Policy and Financial Assistance Authors: Abi Dodbiba and Florina Duli, Kosovar Stability Initiative (IKS) 29 February 2016 Project co‐funded by the European Commission within the Seventh Framewwork Programme Dissemination Level PU Public X PP Restricted to other programme participants (including the Commission Services) RE Restricted to a group specified by the consortium (including the Commission Services) Co Confidential, only for members oof the consortium (including the Commission Services) ABSTRACT This paper seeks to evaluate the impact of EU policy and funds aimed at improving governance and controlling corruption in Kosovo. It examines the interrelation between EU conditionality as expressed in different policy documents and the financial assistance provided by the EU to Kosovo in the area of rule of law. The focus is on the period since 2007, although the paper begins with a brief overview of the conflict in Kosovo and its aftermath. The paper then tracks how the anti-corruption discourse features in policy documents and funding priorities, highlighting the EU conditionality mechanisms applied and the development assistance provided. It evaluates conditionality in the light of Kosovo’s anti-corruption performance during this period. The paper draws conclusions as to the effectiveness of EU policy and financial assistance in the area of anti-corruption, with a view to informing the ongoing policy debate on how to strengthen EU leverage in improving anti-corruption efforts in aspiring member-states, particularly in a post-conflict context.

    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.

    MAPPING OF SANDŽAK SANDŽAK IN THE REGIONAL CONTEXT: MAPING INFLUENCES AND PROPOSING SOLUTIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT OF THE SOCIO-POLITICAL DEVELOPMENT IN SANDŽAK Belgrade, June 2017 The views expressed in this Policy Paper are those of the author(s) and should not be attributed to the Embassy of the Netherlands 2 INTRODUCTORY REMARKS The present policy paper has been prepared in the framework of the project "Sandžak in a Regional Context - Mapping Influences and Proposing Solutions for Improvement of the Socio-Political Development in Sandžak", funded by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to Serbia. Members of the research project team who were involved in writing the policy paper are: Dušan Janjić, PhD, head of team; Sarina Bakić, MSc; Nebojša Čagorović, PhD; Marija Krstić – Draško; Nadxmedin Spahiu, PhD; Safuadan Plojović, PhD, and Mirjana Rašević, PhD. The main objective of the policy paper is to examine and depict basic trends and features of life in Sandžak, including practices and ceremonies (social gatherings and/or celebrations); institutions and policies that contribute to preserving a concept of "Sandžak"; socio-cultural phenomena and social structures that existed in the past, or exist now or those that can be developed in the future. It is our intention to shed light on the topic of Sandžak; to encourage public debate, i.e. namely to map, inscribe and unveil the Sandžak region on the map of the Western Balkans, and especially of Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo; to identify current issues and chart path to the future; to examine whether this could be the "common European future"; and to elaborate the importance of normalization of life in the Western Balkans and mutual relations between the peoples and countries in this region, and thus the normalization of regional cooperation.
