Introduction This report contains a summary of main trends of budget revenues and expenditures during the first quarter period of 2020. The report contains summarising analyses for the relevant period, presentation of revenues by collecting institutions at the central and local level, details on revenues by type of taxations, as well as comparisons with the previous periods and budget projections. The entry into force of the Law on budget on March 19 and the start of the execution of the 2020 budget with the new budget allocations, according to the new ministerial system organized in 15 ministries (out of 21), presents another challenge for the reporting aspect. Similarly, the beginning of the pandemic situation (Covid-19), namely the announcement of the health emergency situation, although it did not have significant effects in the first quarter of the year as a cumulative, nevertheless had a negative impact on the second part of March, but it was compensated thanks to the good performance of the first two months. 1.1. Revenues Performance Total revenues - during the quarter, the revenues amounted to 402.42 million euros and represent 17% of total projected annual revenues, while compared to the generation of the quarter of the previous year there is a decrease of 13%. Budget revenues amounted to 397.26 million euros, marking an increase of 2%, corresponding to 8.71 million euros more, compared to the quarter of the previous year. This amount of revenues represents 20% of the annual projection, while the increase in relation to the same period of the previous year is mainly as a result of the performance of the private sector, constant improvement of the environment of making business, as well as additional activities from revenue collecting agencies. Tax revenues collected from Kosovo Customs have reached the gross amount of 237.21 million euros, or 19 % of the budget plan for 2020, by marking an increase of 7.24 million, or 3% more compared to the same period of the previous year. Tax revenues collected by the Tax Administration of Kosovo have reached the gross amount of 118.46 million euros, or 21 % of the budget plan for 2020, by marking a decrease of 0.74 million euro, or 0.6% more compared to the same period of the previous year. Non-tax revenues had a generation of 44.81 million euro, or a decrease of 2% compared to the previous year, mainly as a result of decrease of non-tax revenues from the central level for about 3.14 million euro. Revenues from borrowings amounted to 5.16 million euros, including receipts and sub- borrowings. Compared to the same period of the previous year, the generation is lower for 1.89 million euro, while internal borrowings are lower for 24.9 million euros during the reporting period, because the expired securities have only been refinanced and no new issuances have been made in the absence of budget law for the year 2020. Nevertheless, total funding is lower for 71.09 million euros, due to the receipt of one-off financing from the PAK (similarly as in 2019) 3 1.2. Expenditure performance Total expenditures - during the quarter payments amounted to 399.04 million euros and represent 16% of general projected expenditures, while compared to generation of the quarter of the previous year, there is a decline of 1.98 million euros or 0.5%. This period was characterized by the prolongation of budget appropriation (3/12), until the 2020 budget law was enacted late. During this period budget expenditures amounted to 382.84 million euros (including interest payments), thus marking a decline of 2%, corresponding to 7.28 million euros less compared to the previous quarter. o Expenditures for wages and salaries amounted to 154.59 million euros during this quarter, reaching the execution rate of 25% compared to the total annual amount budgeted for this category. Expenditures for wages and salaries during the reporting period marked an increase of 3% or over 5.17 million euros more compared to the salary expenditures of the same period of 2019. o Expenditures for goods and salaries (including utilities) marked the amount of 46.87 million euros, recording a decrease of 2.95 million euros, reaching thus the execution rate of 14% compared to the total annual amount budgeted for this category (including 4.92 million euros of utilities), or a decrease of 12% compared to the same period of 2019. o Expenditures for subsidies and transfers amounted to 143.89 million euros (of which 120.04 million euros social transfers), recording an increase of 4.21 million euros, reaching thus the execution rate of 23% compared to the total annual amount budgeted for this category or 3% more compared to the same period of 2019. o Capital expenditures amounted to 28.36 million euros, which represents a low execution rate, compared to the total annual amount budgeted for this category or the same previous period, as a result of late adoption of the Law on budget appropriations for 2020 as well as a lower intensity of budget execution by budget organizations. o Expenditures for state debt service (interest and principal payment, including returns from sub-borrowings) marked the amount of 24.47 million euros (of which 9.12 million euros interest for public debt), reaching thus the execution rate of 21% compared to the total annual amount budgeted for this category, marking thus an increase of 36% compared to the payments for this category during the same period of the previous year 2019. 1.3. Balance of funds on 31 March 2020 4 The gross balance of funds on 31 March 2020 was 461.09 million Euros. Initial balance of funds to the Budget of the Republic of Kosovo on 1 January 2020 was 458.25 million Euros. As a result of higher receipts than payments (increase in tax revenues) for the period January – March 2020, the balance of funds marked an increase of 3.38 million Euros, compared to the same period of 2019, when the increase was 63.78 million Euros Detailed disclosures about revenues and expenditures are presented in the following tables of this quarterly report for 2020. 5 2.

  • The Kosovo War Tour: Dealing with the Country's War History As a Tour Operator
    The Kosovo war tour: dealing with the country’s war history as a tour operator Image 1. “Adem Jashari” memorial complex, Prekaz, Kosovo. 31 May, 2018. by Sarah Driessen Driessen s4361954/1 s4361954 August, 2018 ⁕ Preface ⁕ The first time I visited Kosovo was three years ago in 2015. The country caught my interest and I have been going back there every year since. This is why the decision to focus on Kosovo for my research was quickly made. As a tourist, you stand out, because there are not many there. I have seen the beautiful and positive sides of Kosovo but at the same time I have noticed how the country, years after the war, still has a long way to go. With my research, I want to give a helping hand and combine tourism with the development of the country and dealing with the war history. I have written this thesis for my master’s degree in Human Geography: Cultural Geography & Tourism at the Radboud University, Nijmegen. I went to stay in the capital of Kosovo, Pristina, for three months and experienced what it is like to live there instead of just being a tourist. I hope this thesis can be of value to the person reading it. Sarah Driessen Gendt, 7 August, 2018 Driessen s4361954/2 ⁕ Summary ⁕ This research looks at the possibility of offering a war tour in Kosovo as a way to handle the war history of the country as a tour operator. Kosovo has a negative image among Dutch people, which is mostly caused by the country’s war history.

  • Raporti I IFLA-S/FAIFE-Së: Bibliotekat Në Kosovë
    Misioni i Bibliotekës së Kosovës: Raporti i IFLA-s/FAIFE-së, prill 2000: Vlerësimi i përgjithshëm dhe plani i zhvillimit afatshkurtër dhe afatmesëm Nga Carsten Frederiksen dhe Frode Bakken Mision i përbashkët bibliotekar i UNESCO-s, KIE-së dhe IFLA-s/FAIFE-së The remains of the main public library in the municipality of Malishevë (South-Western Kosovo), which was burned down July 1998. 1. Përmbledhje Misioni i Administratës së Përkohshme të Kombeve të Bashkuara në Kosovë dhe profesionistët e bibliotekave në Kosovë përballohen me detyrën madhore të rekonstruktimit të ndërtesave të bibliotekave dhe rithemelimin e shërbimve bibliotekare në të gjitha nivelet. Ky është konkludimi i përgjithshëm prej një vlerësimi të situatës që ka të bëjë me bibliotekat, i kryer mga misioni i përbashkët i UNESCO-s, Këshillit të Evropës (CoE) dhe nga Federatës Ndërkombtare të Shoqatave dhe Institucioneve Bibliotekare, IFLA. Misioni është realizuar në periudhën prej 25 shkurtit, deri më 7 mars, nga z.Carsten Fredriksen, zëvendësdrejtor i Zyrës së IFLA-s/FAIFE-së në Kopenhagë të Danimarkës, dhe z.Frode Bakken, Kryetar i Shoqatës Bibliotekare të Norvegjisë. Misioni ka qenë zemërgjerësisht i përkrahur nga organizatat bibliotekare në Skandinavi. Biblioteka Kombëtare dhe Universitare dhe biblioteka të tjera të veçanta janë duke u shkatërruar, ruajtja e materialeve të shkruara është e rrezikuar dhe sistemet nacionale për t’i regjistruar dhe shprëndarë dokumentet janë praktikisht jashtë funksionit. Pjesë të mëdha të koleksioneve të vlefshme në Bibliotekën Kombëtare dhe Universitare janë larguar dhe, me siguri, janë shkatërruar në periudhën prej 1990-1999. Shumë biblioteka publike dhe shkollore, posaçërisht në fshatëra, janë djegur plotësisht, ndërsa të tjerave u janë marrë dhe shkatërruar koleksionet e librave, ndërsa ato të cilat ende veprojnë vuajnë prej pasojave të gati 10 vjetëve të lënies pas dore të furnizimeve.
