Everyday challenges for the promotion and implementation of rights and protections for the citizens of Non Majority Communities in the Republic of Kosovo

March 2022

This report has been prepared as a result of a round table on youth, security and human development in Kosovo in December 2021 and four focus group discussions organized by HD and PIPS during February 2022, with participants from all communities in Kosovo. Participants included policy makers, government officials, activists
civil society, researchers and students. The report was prepared based on the contribution of the participants with the support of Dr. Mark Baskin, Leonora Kryeziu, Dr. Ramadan Ilazi and Ermal Boshnjaku.

In addition, this report describes four interrelated challenges that hinder integration and better relations between members of non-majority communities and Kosovo's public institutions. These four challenges include safety in public spaces for non-majority community members; the implementation of the Law on the use of languages, the functioning of Municipal Offices for Communities and Return and the employment of members of non-majority communities in the public administration of Kosovo, according to the required legal quota.

The report shows that with modest intervention by the government, contact with members of non-majority communities in Kosovo
can significantly improve the daily lives of members of non-majority communities.

THIRD MONITORING REPORT: ENERGY STRATEGY OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOSOVO 2022-2031 (Period 2024)

The Energy Strategy of the Republic of Kosovo was approved by the Assembly of Kosovo on March 8, 2023.

This Strategy aims to address current challenges and lay the foundations for a future energy sector that will provide security of supply, clean energy, energy efficiency and active citizen participation. The strategy includes the integration of the electricity system of Kosovo in the regional and pan-European market, with special emphasis on the use of renewable energy sources (RE) and close cooperation with the Republic of Albania.
The Republic of Kosovo is at a key point in the development of its energy sector, guided by the Kosovo Energy Strategy 2022-2031. 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). The report aims to assess the distinct and common challenges throughout the years of implementation of the strategy.
