Minority rights in Kosovo

Minority rights in Kosovo: the framework

Kosovo’s constitution, laws and institutions give communities and their members some of the most detailed protections in Europe. Whether those protections work depends on people knowing them and institutions applying them. This section explains the framework in plain language: the domestic laws, the international standards they draw on, the institutions responsible at central, municipal and independent level, and the communities themselves. ECMI Kosovo helped draft several of these laws and establish several of these institutions; our programmes work on making them usable. The texts are reviewed periodically; the date of the last review appears on each page.
