The Western Balkans have faced many challenges in the last two decades. Thus the path of socioeconomic progress has not been easy at all.

Diplomacy as a means of communication between states has been and still is the most effective way to achieve the goals set before a state. Special emphasis and importance is given to preventive diplomacy, which day by day occupies an increasingly important place in resolving disputes and preventing conflicts. The legal basis for the application of prevention in the process of prevention or escalation of conflicts is found in the Charter of the United Nations. The overall work of the UN is based on prevention and it promotes mechanisms and instruments for peacekeeping. Establishing a preventive mission is far more cost-effective than taking other post-conflict measures. The real importance of prevention is seen in this segment. In the former parts of the former Yugoslavia that gained independence, preventive diplomacy played a very important role. In the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the Republic of Kosovo, in the Republic of Macedonia, there was a need for a preventive miss...

Background: The civil society of different groups of actors, communities, and social formations, registered or unofficial, achieves responsibility and commitment in public life for the protection and promotion of values and common objectives for the good of society. Youth, women, and community representatives are the main actors in civil society that work to prevent and combat deviant phenomena in times of peace and especially during war, due to their influence and ability to promote social changes. Other interest groups, such as the media, law enforcement authorities, universities, researchers, and representatives of the academic world, as well as those involved in the private sector, can make important contributions to prevent wars and post-war events in crisis countries. The civil societies’ capacities in war and post-war countries can be strengthened by exchanging good practices for the programs of international institutions.

This article publications on the first results of the third International Self-Publikation Study of Delinquency (ISRD-3), a large international collaborative study of delinquency and victimization of 14-to 18-year-old students. The analysis is based on a sub-sample of the data set: 2060 respondents from 4 cities in the Republic of Kosovo. The prevalence rate of the main categories of delinquency in comparison to individual countries participating in ISRD3, as well as for 6 groups of countries, are presented as well as data on experiences of victimization (theft and robbery/extortion). Using different measures, we have compared the data with our country where there are significant differences in the level and type of offense found between groups of countries such as Europe, America and other countries. In this article, we compare the rates of offending and victimization found by ISRD-3 with other main sources of national statistics available in the Republic of Kosovo based on the police and the prosecutor. The article concludes with implications and suggestions for further research.

Diplomacy as a means of communication between states has been and still is the most effective way to achieve the goals set before a state. Special emphasis and importance is given to preventive diplomacy, which day by day occupies an increasingly important place in resolving disputes and preventing conflicts. The legal basis for the application of prevention in the process of prevention or escalation of conflicts is found in the Charter of the United Nations. The overall work of the UN is based on prevention and it promotes mechanisms and instruments for peacekeeping. Establishing a preventive mission is far more cost-effective than taking other post-conflict measures. The real importance of prevention is seen in this segment. In the former parts of the former Yugoslavia that gained independence, preventive diplomacy played a very important role. In the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the Republic of Kosovo, in the Republic of Macedonia, there was a need for a preventive mission on their territories. The establishment of the missions of the United Nations, the OSCE, and later of the European Union and the United States of America proved to be a good example of preventing the spread of the conflict and can serve as a model for future prevention missions based on the Balkan experience. The benefits of a preventive mission can be great, both for the host country and for neighboring countries. The period in which a preventive mission is present should be fully used for the development of the country and the region where it is established, to preserve and strengthen peace and security and to offer assistance in various segments, especially in the case of the newly created Balkan state, such as which are the Republic of BiH, the Republic of Kosovo or the Republic of Northern Macedonia.

The geostrategic position of the Republic of Kosovo in the Balkans and the postwar conditions enable various criminal groups to commit serious crimes. This threat can be reflected in various forms, depending on economic and social life, especially in the conditions of globalization. The high level of unemployment and poverty also contribute to the creation of favorable conditions for the presence of crime in general. Elements of organized crime are groups or criminal organizations that have three or more members. They can be large or small, both in terms of the number of members and in the manner of their criminal activity, and they can have a national and international character. Therefore, the introductory part must explain the concept of security, its content, and its social function from an interdisciplinary point of view. In this regard, only the intensive democratization of society, the adoption of adequate regulatory rules, and the permanent education of law enforcement agencies, as well as members of the intelligence service, with meaningful information to the public, i.e., citizens, and the development of a political and security structure, represents a roadmap for more effective prevention of organized crime in Kosovo.

The phenomenon of the domestic violence in Kosovo holds an important position in the positive legislation in Kosovo. This phenomenon apart from causing consequences to an individual as a victim, at the same time it causes consequences also for other parts of the family. Domestic violence has been present also in the past in the Kosovo families, but of course with lower intensity by keeping total discretion within the family whereas access of the society in this problem was very small. Violence against women is a complex problem which includes more than an act itself in the personal relations between the husband and the wife. It is a social problem of broad dimensions whose roots are found in the historic attitudes on women and the marriage relations. Socialization of men and women in our society and nomination of women in inferior position and rules that keep women economically dependent, makes women more vulnerable on violence committed by men with whom they live. This victimizatio...

Ensuring independence, impartiality, transparency, and increasing the efficiency of the judiciary are postulates that express the trust of citizens in the judiciary. In order for this trust of the citizens to exist in the judiciary, the judiciary professionals must be able, with professionalism, dedication, effectiveness at work, and in accordance with the Code of Ethics, to meet one of the criteria for the integration of Kosovo into the Union. European. One of the principles in the justice system is the principle of the right to be tried by an independent and impartial court, which provides a double guarantee for the individual, this right is guaranteed, on the one hand by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the European Convention on Human Rights, as well as other documents and Recommendations of the Council of Europe, and on the other hand, for the power in which the judiciary fulfills the obligations provided by the Constitution and laws. In this regard, Kosovo has made reforms of the judicial system, but from the current judicial practice, it can not be said that the judiciary with its work, in cases of corruption, adjudicates in accordance with the requirements of the European Union.
