Civil society in Kosovo is largely fragmented: it is not only often divided along ethnic lines, but there is also frequently a lack of communication and cooperation among Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) from the same communities. In view of the particular needs and internal fragmentation of most minority communities in Kosovo, ECMI Kosovo, on behalf of its project “Empowering Civil Society to Participate Effectively in Policy and Decision-making Processes through Dialogue with Government Institutions”, funded by EU and managed by the European Union Office in Kosovo,1 aimed to foster the establishment of minority CSO networks with the ultimate goal of enabling them to advocate for their specific needs and interests while united through one voice.
