This policy analysis aims to assess the performance of the municipality of Pristina during the past term, based on a survey on public satisfaction with municipal services.

This would enable decision makers to understand the perceived performance of local institutions and plan and prioritize accordingly.

Considering the role that municipal governments play in providing public services to the population, identifying citizens' perceptions and areas of concern is of great importance to policy makers at the local level.

Kosovo's prospects to join the WTO: A short evaluation of the decision-making routes

23 February 2022

February 2022

Since 2018, Kosovo has not applied for membership in any major international organization. Although expanding its presence in international organizations has been one of the main goals of Kosovo's foreign policy in the post-independence period, membership in the Venice Commission in 2014 remains the last major multilateral accession for Kosovo.

The Government Program 2021-2025 includes several commitments for multilateral accession. One of the most important commitments is to apply for membership in the World Trade Organization.

This policy note discusses Kosovo's prospects of joining this organization, in light of the functions and importance that this multilateral body plays for the global economy today.
