Expected negative Progress Report

No one in Kosovo does not expect to get good news from the Progress Report 2011-s.Analysts are alarmed for evidence of failures in this report, the Government for any challenge that may be present in, the Assembly for all this situation blames executive. Even with the time Europeans have signaled that the report will not be positive.For all countries in the region, but also for Kosovo, the report will be announced on October 12 this year, earlier than usual, writes, "Koha Ditore". At present successes, failures and institutional challenges in meeting European Union standards. The entire integration process depends on its content.Fatmir Curri, coordinator of the Program to support the European integration process in Kosovo Civil Society Foundation (KCSF), has expressed confidence that the report will present a handicap and failure, primarily for institutions, but also for the entire society Kosovo. But there is a neighboring state, he has identified, and that report will perform.This year, Kosovo institutions have had less time to meet obligations arising from the previous year's report. By the end of the previous elections can be constituted institutions to the end of February this year."In short, the Progress Report this year will be a true reflection of the bitter reality in Kosovo with full locking and a little willpower and knowledge to do things differently and lack of vision for the future," said Curri.In these months the executive government is mainly concentrated in the drafting and prosecution of their approval in the Assembly.Were initially identified some 49 laws that were issued or amended, and finally to reduce the number to 21.However, only a small number of them have passed. Monday's session of the Assembly proceedings disrupted in half in the absence of a quorum and will continue on Wednesday. There are laws that were rejected the second reading be approved, but expectations are that 14 to pass laws.The executive has thrown the blame on the legislature for a possible negative report.Citaku, Minister of European Integration, said that the contents of the report will depend on many of Wednesday's session."It is important that all the requirements, which Fule Commissioner has addressed to the Government, we have already proceeded to the Parliament and most of them have passed their first bit of the second well and expect the Assembly to be the extent of its responsibility and to proceed further with the laws, "said Minister Citaku."It is clear that the progress report will be filed with the government has proceeded to the Assembly legislation, but whether there will be progress on Kosovo or not depends on the work of other institutions", has insisted that the government official.But MPs have complained about delays in processing executive laws. Krasniqi speaker himself has previously stated that delays were evident.Progress Report, issued by the European Commission, briefly explains the relationship between Kosovo and the European Union, analyzes the political situation as regards democracy, rule of law, human rights, protecting minorities and regional issues, analyzes the economic situation; reviews capacity to implement the standards, which means, aligning its legislation and policies with the acquis, under the European Partnership priorities.Based on the degree of progress in these areas, the EU decides to launch or not the dialogue on visa liberalization.Kosovo is the only country in Europe in terms of liberalization of the visa, the Progress Report 2010-s considers that the 99 areas assessed, only 5 of them has been good progress or substantial in Kosovo. In 9 areas not listed no progress.Progress or some progress was made in 43 areas, while in 43 other areas of evaluation is considered that progress is small or limited.But, in view of which areas are the biggest achievements this year?Fatmir Curri has mentioned some of them. Said that Kosovo can have positive points in the functioning of Parliament and respect the rules of procedure of Parliament, and review and discussion of laws by parliamentary commissions. Also mentioned that the positive points can take Kosovo from decisions and respect the decisions of the Constitutional Court, although he said not to be sure I could handle this as a positive note.There are also some other number."Kosovo will have positive points in the area of ​​macroeconomic stability and fiscal sustainability. But relations with the IMF, including the current state of the SBA, will be critical as during the European Commission has indicated that it can be prevented even budget support for Kosovo. Criticism for the stability and large capital investments as the case of the highway will probably be repeated, "wrote the Curri. "There have been attempts to combat the informal economy, but still not satisfactory. Criteria related to the field of visa will have positive evaluations in the field of civil registration and repatriation efforts. "Even Citaku Minister has expressed its expectations for evidence of some achievements."Realistically extraordinary work has been done after the adoption of basic laws which are related to law and order last year and already have made increasing the number of prosecutors and judges, have made reforms in the justice sector.A third of the judges and prosecutors are replaced based on performance. Hundred per cent increased salaries in the judicial sector, as well as the police, "said Minister Citaku. "There has been progress in the area of ​​repatriation and reintegration of repatriated persons, one of which is directly connected with the visa liberalization process."On the other hand, has mentioned Curri negative grades that will get Kosovo in many areas. Said that this year the report will criticize us on the failure of the organization and holding of parliamentary elections held in late 2010, and repeated them.For a prolonged process of election and counting and certifying the results, to format and problems, and how creating and electing a president and vote for the Government.Curri said that in the rule of law will also repeat the flaws as judicial reform, according to him, even though the legislation is incomplete, there is little or no management and performance achieved in the judiciary.And not only that. Said that in the repatriation and reintegration of repatriated persons will be critical to the municipal level as missing information, inadequate staff and lack procedures and standards for use of funds for reintegration.According Curri, in the area of ​​regional cooperation will have negative ratings because, according to him, nor is doing enough in this direction and Kosovo did not have a position in regional and passive participation. He said that the European Commission introduced the measures of reciprocity will be one of the concerns that come to Kosovo and Serbia as well.This does not end the list of areas where Curri fears that Kosovo will go bad."In the field of freedom of the media would have criticized, since the year there were some cases when journalists were not allowed to conduct their work," he said. "It would be criticized for quickly passing laws and their mosanalizën, and lack of public debate on the preparation and writing of laws."For jams spoke in broad terms the Minister Citaku. Given the fact that the progress report is the product of negotiation, but an evolution, which is based on real parameters, concrete, according to her, the report could not be better than the actual.
