The Kosovo Women’s Network adds a gender perspective to Kosovo’s path towards the European Union. In line with the European Commission’s 2024 report on Kosovo, KWN provided its comment on Kosovo’s European Integration Program for 2025-2029.
The National Program for European Integration (NPEI) is Kosovo’s main plan for reforms towards EU membership. It aims to align domestic laws with those of the EU and is the third program of this name and the tenth since the entry into force of the Stabilization and Association Agreement (SAA).
KWN has observed that the program lacks clear indicators, measurable targets, and baselines, making it difficult to measure progress. Also, objectives on neighborly relations, regional cooperation, and Kosovo-Serbia normalization, as well as on the implementation of the EU Agenda on Women, Peace, and Security, are missing.
We suggest including these elements for better monitoring and greater accountability in the integration process.
