INTRODUCTION Pursuant the obligations deriving from the Energy Community Treaty, Kosovo has drafted the Long-Term National Energy Efficiency Action Plan (NEEAP) 2010-2018, and three short-term plans covering periods 2010-2012, 2013-2015, and 2016-2018. This document constitutes the 4th NEEAP for Kosovo which convers period 2019-2021. The 4th NEEAP is the key document which defines and describes actions for achieving state policy objectives in the field of energy efficiency, including the energy efficiency obligations scheme, energy efficiency policy measures, energy savings achieved or planned to be achieved at the level of supply, transmission, distribution and final consumption of energy, in order to meet the national energy efficiency targets. This document also includes an evaluation of the implementation of the previous plan. Energy Consumption, Energy Intensity and GDP Growth Rate The following figures provide an overview of the energy consumption in Kosovo together with economic growth trends and energy intensity. As it can be seen, there was an increase in primary energy consumption in 2016 and this was mainly due to an increase of biomass concumption based on the Household Energy Consumption Study in 2016 for 2015. Final energy consumption for 2017 was 1461 ktoe. Residential sector remains the main consumer followed by Transport, Industry, Services and lastly Agriculture. Energy intensity expressed in toe/1000 EUR has showed a decrease from 0.66 in 2009 to 0.28 in 2017. GDP growth rate has remained positive.

    The Kosovar wine cluster: A booster for regional development? Gajo M. VANKA1, Wim J.M. HEIJMAN2 1Department of Social Sciences, Economics of Consumers and Households Group, Wageningen University, Wageningen, the Netherlands 2Department of Social Sciences, Agricultural Economics and Rural Policy Group, Wageningen University, Wageningen, the Netherlands Abstract: Kosovo is an economy in transition with a high unemployment, a young population and structural problems. Clusters could be considered as an appropriate approach to develop the region. Th is paper deals with the economic pro- spects of the Kosovar wine cluster, its current opportunities and the introduction of new approaches. Th e analysis was based on the Porter’s innovation theory and the diamond model. Th e Kosovar wine sector could be a promising example for the future cluster development. Wine has a long history in Kosovo although wine consumption is not widespread. Th is paper presents the main problems and opportunities within this sector, describing its structural changes and current developments. Th e study aims to introduce its readers to the potential that the cluster development can off er as well as to understand the local circumstances. Its main focus is therefore to introduce the advantages and opportunities that clusters could bring to this sector, considering the three pillars of sustainable development, namely economic growth, environmen- tal and social development, and achieving competitiveness. Key words: agribusiness sector, business clusters, competitiveness, diamond model, Kosovo, Porter’s innovation theory, Serbia, sustainable development, wine. This research examines sustainable development winemaking all makes this sector attractive to foreign in Kosovo by focusing on the interaction between agencies and investors.

Does the Southern Mediterranean offer opportunities for cooperation between the EU and GCC countries? Indeed, THE MEDITERRANEAN: given the Gulf’s economic boom and growing investment in North Africa, GCC countries are well positioned to play a more OPPORTUNITIES TO central role in the Mediterranean.
