Analysis of the economic situation in the Serb-populated areas in Kosovo

The Institute for Territorial Economic Development presents the study "Analysis of the economic situation in the Serb-populated areas in Kosovo". The study deals with topics related to the structure of the economy in the majority Serb municipalities in Kosovo, employment and business challenges. Special attention was paid to the topic of access to the financial market and measures to combat the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as openness to economic integration in Kosovo. The study was prepared within the project " Analysis of the state of the economy in Serbian environments in Kosovo - the impact of the economy on democracy in society" implemented by InTER with the support of the Kosovo Foundation for Open Society (KFOS). The project is part of a broader initiative " Democracy, Openness and Perspectives of the Serb Community in Kosovo - OPEN" implemented by KFOS in cooperation with 9 CSOs active in the Serb community in Kosovo. Through the analysis, the initiative will contribute to a better understanding of the state of democracy, openness and the current position and prospects for the future of the Serb community in Kosovo, and as a platform it represents the most critical findings from the analyses.
