Descentralizarea asimetrică: o soluţie pentru Kosovo?
Asymmetric Decentralization: A Solution for Kosovo?

Summary/Abstract: The article is trying to investigate which were the reasons that determined the international community to choose decentralization as a mean of transforming Kosovo in a multiethnic democratic society. The special character of decentralization in Kosovo will be emphasized in the article. Asymmetric solutions have been used to accommodate the interests of different groups both in consolidated democracies (see. Spain, United Kingdom) and post-conflict societies. In Kosovo, after a reconstructions process that lasted almost ten years, the international community decided it is high time for the province to move forward towards independence. The asymmetric decentralization was seen as an important aspect in this process and a sine qua non condition for the development of a stable democratic country.
