Item Agreement; Mediation; Facilitation; EU; Proposal; Kosovo; Serbia(AAB College, 2025-07-17) Rrahmani, Bashkim; Bushi, Petrit; Gashi, FlamurThe EU-facilitated dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia, from its inception until today, has not realized the anticipated expectations and specified goals. Despite more than a decade of diverse engagement approaches by the involved parties, the situation remained precarious. The disputing parties persisted in their respective demands. Conversely, the facilitator/mediator primarily adhered to abstractly proclaimed declarations concerning integration perspectives rather than formulating instruments, measures, and strategies that could be imperative for a final settlement. The Russian aggression in Ukraine further complicated the dialogue, elevating the significance of geopolitics in the process. This paper aims to offer insights into the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue, emphasizing key factors and circumstances crucial for stability and the EU integration of the Balkans. The Franco-German proposal, recognized as an official EU document, holds particular importance. To achieve the paper’s objectives, the authors employed the methods of legal analysis, teleological analysis, description analysis, logical analysis, and comparative analysis.Item Endless EU Facilitated-Mediated Dialogue Between Kosovo and Serbia(AAB College, 2025-07-17) Rrahmani, BashkimThe dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia facilitated and mediated by the EU and strong U.S. support is a critical part of sustainable peace, stability, and the road to the European integration of the Western Balkans. This article seeks to provide the mediators’ insights into the process of dialogue by outlining the factors and circumstances in which it is being developed, as well as analyzing strategies that lead toward desired success, peace, stability, and the EU integration of the Western Balkans. The article discusses the important issues linked with the dialogue that is being facilitated and negotiated by the EU, including essential activities, challenges, difficulties, obstacles, antagonism (inner and international), the approach the EU facilitators/mediators undertake as well as the reaction and the expected results that the parties involved in the process have regarding reaching a final solution to the dispute. The researchers of this paper used the methods of legal analysis, comparative analysis, and teleological analysis. The study is an update of the work done in the field by the authors and aims to contribute to further political, diplomatic, and academic debate developed in this field locally and internationally.Item Minority Rights in Kosovo(AAB College, 2025-07-17) Rrahmani, BashkimAmong many national minorities in Kosovo, there is one that is more protected and that enjoys more rights compared to the others. According to the Kosovo Constitution, The Republic of Kosovo is a multi-ethnic society consisting of Albanian and other Communities, governed democratically with full respect for the rule of law through its legislative, executive and judicial institutions. Based on this definition Kosovo is multi-ethnic which is composed of many communities but in practice one ethnic community is more equal compared to the others. It as an ethnic community appears to be the biggest obstacle for the future developments in Kosovo. The attitudes of this ethnic community for the state of Kosovo determines the Kosovo inner developments; it determines the relationships between Kosovo and Serbia and it could have some impact in the entire region of the Balkans. Using the combined methodology with method of historical analysis, method of legal analysis, method of comparison analysis, method of systemic analysis, the author will describe and explain the position of national communities known as minorities with the specific emphasis on the position of Serbian Minority in Kosovo according to the Kosovo legal system and the international law.
