I see KCSF as one of the top organizations that pushed the development of key political and social processes in Kosovo and its contribution was especially noticeable in the early post—war period. From

the beginning, when people didn’t even know about the concept of civil society, it had a very educational character. KIPRED, Kosovo’s first think tank established after the war, came out of KCSF after a few years of working under its umbrella. The KCSF of today has evolved, creating a very sophisticated expertise that is now able to oversee the government’s work, to push different legislative agendas or even contribute to EU integration processes. With their in—depth knowledge of the EU, they managed to translate the European rhetoric into concrete actions, in order to better prepare Kosovo for the path ahead.
