Kosovo’s application for membership at the Council of Europe (CoE): Arduous path ahead

19 January 2023

January 2023

Since the declaration of independence in 2008, Kosovo has managed to become a member of several multilateral organizations, including the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, as well as the Development Bank of the Council of Europe in 2013 and the Venice Commission in 2014. By submitting the request for membership to the Council of Europe on May 12, 2022, Kosovo started an important political process, thus opening a new chapter. There seems to be a long and difficult process involved in joining the Council of Europe. This brief policy note, therefore, provides an overview of Kosovo's application to the Council of Europe and briefly elaborates on Kosovo's strategy and multilateral relations with the Council of Europe.

Dialogu i Prishtinës: Ballkani dhe Azia e Jugut

Dialogu i Prishtinës: Ballkani dhe Azia e Jugut, e mbajtur më 25 nëntor 2024, në Prishtinë, shënoi një moment të rëndësishëm në rrugën e Kosovës drejt bashkëpunimit ndërrajonal. Ngjarja ofroi një platformë unike për të eksploruar sfidat dhe mundësitë e përbashkëta të Kosovës dhe Azisë Jugore (Bangladesh, Indi, Nepal, Pakistan dhe Shri Lanka) ndërmjet këtyre rajoneve të ndryshme.

Ky dokument i shkurtër përmbledh të gjeturat kryesore nga ky aktivitet, të organizuara rreth tre shtyllave kryesore: qeverisja demokratike, diplomacia ekonomike dhe roli i aktorëve jo-shtetërorë në nxitjen e bashkëpunimit. Dokumenti ofron rekomandime praktike për politikëbërësit dhe akterët e tjerë të përfshirë, me synim forcimin e marrëdhënieve ndërrajonale dhe pozicionimin e Kosovës si një akter aktiv në arenën ndërkombëtare.

Me qëllim rritjen e transparencës dhe fuqizimin e zyrtarëve lokalë në përputhje me Reformën e Administratës Publike, përmes anketës së fundit kemi identifikuar sfidat që qytetarët hasin në përdorimin e uebsajtit të komunës. Anketa gjithashtu reflekton nivelin e kënaqësisë së qytetarëve me shërbimet online dhe mënyrat se si do të preferonin të informoheshin për këto shërbime.

Meqenësë projekti synon të rrisë transparencën dhe të fuqizojë zyrtarët në përputhje me Reformën e Administratës Publike duke krijuar një manual për përdorimin e uebsajtit që adreson nevojat e qytetarëve dhe përmirëson qasjen në shërbime, përmes pyetësorit të realizuar, ne kemi arritur të identfikojmë problemet e qytetarëve në përdorimin e website-it të komunës së Suharekës.

Prodhuar në kuadër të projektit “WeBER 3.0” për Reformën e Administratës Publike të Ballkanit Perëndimor.
