Present Challenges for Kosovo
Present Challenges for Kosovo

Summary/Abstract: The representative of the United Nations Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) first describes the situation in Kosovo after the resignation of Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj from his post and voluntary surrender to the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY). Most remarkably, the security situation in Kosovo has remained quiet. Concerning the fulfilment of standards, Rücker observes that Kosovo has been making substantial progress. Yet, considerable risks remain and much is still to be done. The persistent feeling of insecurity of the Kosovo Serbs and the severe economic stagnation remain most serious concerns. Rücker also calls on the Kosovo Serbs to actively participate in the shaping of Kosovo’s future. Dialogue will be all-essential on every level and should be embedded in a regional process encompassing both Belgrade and Kosovo and their neighbours.
