Furthermore, additional focus will be on supporting judicial institutions through advanced legal trainings and seminars for judges and practical legal skills training for young lawyers.

While aggravated by the COVID-19 pandemic, Kosovo is faced with a situation where the dialogue process had largely stalled and efforts to find a durable solution had seemingly collapsed as the United States and the European Union competed for influence in Kosovo.

The dialogue on economic normalization between Belgrade and Pristina led by President Trump’s envoy Richard Grenell, was not a serious process nor did it produce breakthrough agreement. As pointed out during the Mitrovica Social Club debate, the agreement on economic normalization that was signed in the White House by Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić and the Prime Minister of Kosovo Avdullah Hoti, is not taken seriously by anyone. Moreover, it will quickly be forgotten in the US itself regardless of whether Joseph Biden or Donald Trump wins the election in November.

Respect for language rights in Kosovo is always a pertinent issue.

It is with great pleasure that NGO Aktiv invites you to a webinar debate to be held by the Mitrovica Soial Club entitled Belgrade-Pristina Dialogue Process: A Triangle of Constructive Ambiguities. The webinar’s theme will be the Belgrade-Pristina negotiations in Washington and Brussels, with a particular focus on the agreements reached, the implications of the presidential elections in the United States for the region, and opportunities for advancing the Western Balkans as it moves towards the European Union.  The Webinar will be held on the 23^rd of September fro 16:00.
