The overall conclusion of the debate entitled U.S. Presidential Elections: Two sides of the same Coin? was that the election of Joe Biden as the president of the USA, White House policy towards the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina will be determined by rapprochement between America and Europe. The Biden administration would return to the policy pursued under Obama, when the United States withdrew from Europe and left it to Europeans to solve problems on their continent. The White House, for its part, would encourage Belgrade and Pristina to reach an agreement on the normalization of mutual relations within the process led by the European Union.

During his last visit to the Western Balkans, Miroslav Lajcak, the European Union’s special envoy for the dialogue between Pristina and Belgrade, conveyed the expectation that all existing Brussels agreements will be fully implemented and that the existing Constitutions are not an insurmountable obstacle. He stated that “the constitution is not the Bible and can be changed.” How did we understand this message and what can be predicted?

The "You have the right to know!" is an informative campaign on the rights of members of non-majority communities within the Kosovo institutional context launched in October by NGO Aktiv. In fact, and despite a well-defined and comprehensive constitutional framework, members of non-majority communities in Kosovo not always are fully aware of their existing rights.

The main goal of this publication is to analyse the relationship between the government, its institutions and non-majority communities in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and to assess institutions’ readiness to ensure equal treatment of all citizens, regardless of their ethnicity.
