The Republic of Kosovo throughout the past year has achieved significant successes in the three commitments which were aimed at strengthening the rule of law and the fight against corruption, the fight against authoritarianism, the advancement of human rights, diversity and inclusiveness with a focus on advancing women’s rights and gender equality.
Due to this success, out of more than 100 participating countries, the Presidency of the Republic of Kosovo as the leading institution in Kosovo during the “Year of Action” within the framework of the Summit for Democracy, has been selected by the White House to co-lead the thematic group on the rule of law.
