The 2013 edition of this guidebook, with information on communities in Kosovo and their rights, aims to serve as a starting point for anyone working on communities in Kosovo, both to increase knowledge and awareness on communities, and as a practical handbook for government and other organisations working on communities in Kosovo. It contains background information on communities in Kosovo and a breakdown of the major issues faced by those communities. This analysis is supported by statistics relating to geography, demographics, employment and economics. The guidebook also provides information on political representation and legislation. Reflecting ECMI Kosovo’s first-hand experience in the development and implementation of community rights standards in Kosovo, it offers a comprehensive overview of the legal foundations of community rights in Kosovo, and of the institutions available to communities for the protection and promotion of their rights.
