Recommendations
Recommendation 1
Improve infrastructure and physical environment. This includes: roads, electricity,
railways, water supplies, telecommunications, etc. The quality of infrastructure is a key
FDI determinant. The focus of Kosovo institutions should be in particular on roads and
railways which enable connection of Kosovo with region and Europe. Total investments
in all these sectors up to 2015 could be: €2.5 Billion.
Furthermore utilization of industrial zones and industrial parks should serve as a model
for the executive of the country as a crucial project that affects the creation of favorable
conditions for business and environmental protection.
Recommendation 2
A key condition for economic development is political stability. (1) Strict adherence to
rule of law, (2) strengthening democratic processes, (3) resources for national security
and (4) cultivation of tolerance are very important elements that have great impact on
investment climate.
Recommendation 3
Build transparent and accountable system of governance at all levels. Implementation of
laws and increasing the number of judges and prosecutors for 80% are important
elements that greatly reduces corruption. There is need to stimulate competition and
meritocracy to reduce the level of nepotism.
