This report reviews the response of Kosovo institutions to the failures of Senior Public Officials to file timely declarations of their assets pursuant to the Law on Declaration of Assets. OSCE monitoring indicates inconsistencies in practice across the three relevant institutions involved in criminal cases related to the declaration of assets – the Anti-corruption Agency, the prosecution and the courts – and many instances where the relevant substantive and procedural law has been improperly applied. Such inconsistencies have negative implications for guarantees of legal certainty and equality before the law as guaranteed in the Kosovo legal framework.

The report assesses central and municipal institutions' implementation of their obligations towards ensuring and facilitating civil registration of the most vulnerable, in particular the Kosovo Roma, Ashkali and Egyptian communities.

This report provides an overview of the conduct of assembly meetings of most municipal legislative representative bodies in Kosovo between March 2009 and December 2010, during which time the OSCE Mission in Kosovo monitored 529 municipal assembly meetings.
