The report provides insight into the legal and policy frameworks, as well as the establishment, functioning and composition of municipal mechanisms tasked with protecting and promoting the rights and interests of non-majority communities in Kosovo. The report observes that these mechanisms, the communities committee (CC), municipal office for communities and returns (MOCR), deputy mayor for communities (DMC), and deputy chairperson of the municipal assembly for communities (DCMAC), have demonstrated that they can be important advocates for the municipalities where they are operational and have produced clear substantive outputs with benefits to the communities they serve. This report therefore serves as an update to assess the development of these mechanisms since 2014 and provides a set of recommendations for improving the compliance and performance of these mechanisms in promoting and protecting communities’ rights in Kosovo.
