Opportunities to Foreign Investment in Kosovo
Recommendation 4
The findings of "Doing Business Report 2011" by World Bank provided a good basis for
improving the investment climate in Kosovo. 1) Difficulty at starting the business, 2)
obtaining permits and licenses at the central and municipal level, 3) protecting investors,
4) trading across borders and 5) enforcing contracts, are substantial elements that
government of Kosovo must be taken in order to eliminate bureaucratic procedures and to
create facilities to do business in Kosovo. The focus should be mainly in reducing time
(days) and procedures (number).
Recommendation 5
Reform of public administration. Public administration is the backbone of the
Government. A well planned civil service reformation is needed and also increased
capacity and professionalism based on merit (recruitment process).
Recommendation 6
Reform of education system. Education is an engine for growth and innovation.
Engagement of some professional advisors who will orient students based on their
professional aptitudes could increase the quality. Because of high demand there is need to
increase the number of students up to 300 who complete the internships in different
enterprises.
Recommendation 7
Foster and strengthen the relations between Government of Kosovo and Kosovo's
Diaspora. Establish the Diaspora Investment Office within the Ministry for Diaspora as
only body dealing with Diaspora's investment. There is need for analysis of statistical
data in order to study the volume and the direction of remittances. Further to this, the
identification of Diaspora's businessmen is necessary. This office could initially have 5
employees. Depending on the need and the success of this office, in later stages this
number could increase.
