Kosovo's Multilateral Integration - June 2018

Kosovo's Multilateral Integration - June 2018

12 June 2018

Since 2008, Kosovo has become a member of several important regional and global multilateral organizations: the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Venice Commission, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the Council of Europe Development Bank (CEB). ) and the Regional Cooperation Council (RCC). At the same time, Kosovo continues to be left out of some important bodies, perhaps the most important of these, the United Nations. In addition to diplomatic alignment and bilateral recognition, multilateral integration has been an important pillar of Kosovo's state-building in the first ten years of its existence. Multilateral integration is a good opportunity for Kosovo to strengthen international subjectivity, to harmonize legislation with other member states but also as an opportunity to IMPROVE the lives of citizens.

This strategy serves as a framework towards a sustainable, efficient and reliable energy system that supports the country's economic growth and improves the well-being of its citizens. In this context, PIPS monitors the implementation of the Energy Strategy, and this report is the third in a row. The monitoring report serves as another tool, becoming a comprehensive overview of their progress towards the strategy for the year 2024 (including the year 2023).

Udhëzuesi për shërbimet digjitale komunale - Komuna e Suharekës 03 February 20250

Udhëzuesi për shërbimet digjitale komunale - Komuna e Suharekës

Instituti i Prishtinës për Studime Politike (PIPS), në bashkëpunim me Komunën e Suharekës, ka realizuar një manual praktik për përdorimin e shërbimeve digjitale në këtë komunë.

Ky udhëzues ofron informata të detajuara mbi mënyrën e përdorimit të platformave si eKosova dhe Ndreqe.com, të cilat janë identifikuar si shërbimet më të përdorura nga qytetarët, bazuar në një anketë të fundit. Anketa ka evidentuar sfidat që qytetarët hasin në përdorimin e faqes së komunës dhe ka reflektuar nivelin e kënaqësisë së tyre me shërbimet online, duke nxjerrë në pah edhe mënyrat e preferuara të informimit rreth tyre.

Ky projekt synon të rrisë transparencën dhe të fuqizojë zyrtarët publikë në përputhje me Reformën e Administratës Publike dhe si aktivitet të fundit, kishte krijimin e këtij manuali që adreson nevojat e qytetarëve dhe lehtëson qasjen e tyre në shërbime.

Manuali është prodhuar në kuadër të projektit “WeBER 3.0” për Reformën e Administratës Publike në Ballkanin Perëndimor. WeBER zbatohet nga Think for Europe Network (TEN) dhe Qendra për Kërkime në Administratën Publike (KDZ). PIPS është një nga përfituesit e WeBER 3.0 në kuadër të Local PAR Citizen Engagement Small Grant Facility 2024/2025. Projekti financohet nga Bashkimi Evropian dhe Agjencia Austriake për Zhvillim (ADA). Përmbajtja e këtij manuali reflekton pikëpamjet e autorëve dhe nuk pasqyron domosdoshmërisht ato të BE-së, ADA-s, TEN-it apo KDZ-së.
