SUPPORT TO PEACE AND STABILITY IN KOSOVO
Print Version
(PDF)
After the NATO intervention ended in 1999, Kosovo became a UN protectorate, even though still legally within Serbia. Its future status is expected to be determined over the next two years. As the negotiation talks continue, political and civic stakeholders need to acquire a nuanced understanding of public opinion to find the most widely accepted agreement. Media also can profoundly influence the negotiations' success: serving as the only channel of communications if talks break down and playing a constructive role in fostering public willingness to compromise on key issues through its portrayal of relevant events and issues and the norms its programming conveys. Accordingly, the objective of the USAID-funded Support to Peace and Stability in Kosovo Program is to improve the public information environment surrounding the Kosovo future status process through public opinion survey and inter-ethnic broadcast media activities.
