December 2007 saw the publication of the report on the application of the laws on Anti-discrimination and the Use of Languages in Kosovo Public Companies after a 3-month study by HLC across all 5 regions. The research aimed to assess how far members of minority communities were being hired and permitted to use their mother tongue in work and the use of minority languages in, for example, as information documents, contracts and invoices. Although some progress was observed, especially in public utilities, the report highlights under-representation of minorities in public companies and shortfalls in the implementation of the law on the use of minority languages, as well as considerable differences according to region and the type of company. Recommendations for more effective implementation of both laws were drawn up. Further information can be obtained from The Humanitarian Law Center, Pristina: Bekim Blakaj |
