After a series of diplomatic failures, the official Pristina introduced Kosovo Army to citizens as a way of creating the impression that the current government's policy is successful, and that the Serbs, particularly in the North of Kosovo, should not be afraid because the existing legal framework reached between the NATO and Pristina prevents the Army from deploying in the North without KFOR`s approval.

Members of the Empirica Advocacy Platform – civil society organizations who are signatories of this statement, wish to express their deep concern regarding recent initiatives and decisions introduced by Kosovo authorities that target the traffic of goods from Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.  These decisions run counter to requirements defined by the Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA) and the contractual obligations of the Agreement on Stabilization and Association.  Moreover, we are witness to the fact these unilateral actions contribute to a further worsening of security conditions in Kosovo, which pose a threat to the hard-won peace and take us ever-further from the dialogue process and normalization of relations. 

On the 17th of December 2018, NGO AKTIV had a presentation of “Fact Sheet on Services for Private Business Development”, as part of the project “Increase the access of northern Kosovo business to institutional services and support” supported by American Embassy in Kosovo. Held in Center for Civic Energy Center, the presentation included representatives of embassies, local institutions, as well as entrepreneurs from North Kosovo.

Cooperation between Serbian and Albanian NGOs in Kosovo is fairly good, but there is a huge space for improvement. This was, among other things, said at the Mitrovica Social Club organized in Pristina by the NGO "Aktiv" from North Mitrovica.

On behalf of NGO Aktiv, it is our pleasure to invite you for the presentation of the “Fact Sheet on Services for Private Business Development”, which is result of the project “Increase the access of northern Kosovo business to institutional services and support” supported by American Embassy in Kosovo.
