Abstract The European Union (EU) plays a facilitating role in the normalization of relations between Kosovo and Serbia. The EU has applied a proactive approach to normalization through several agreements, initially of a technical and later of a political nature. This gradual approach has produced a relative success in the easing of relations between the parties and in creating the conditions for a final agreement, which, however, still remains far from being reached. The main argument of this article is that both sides hold diametrically opposed positions and the EU still remains a powerless actor in pushing the parties to find a long-term solution to the conflict between them.

Tüm dünyada ülkeler barış ve güvenliği güçlendirmekadına suçluların geri iadesi ilkesini mümkün olan en iyi şekilde dizayn etmek içinçabalamakta ve her faili yakalamak, mahkemeye çıkarmak ve cezalandırmak içinyasal mekanizmalarını koordine etmektedirler. Suçluların geri iadesi ilkesigünümüzde hem Avrupa Birliği hem de AB'ye üye olmak isteyen ülkeler için de,örneğin Arnavutluk ve Kosova Cumhuriyeti, önemli bir mekanizmadır. Buçalışma, öncelikle AB'nin daha sonra da Arnavutluk ve KosovaCumhuriyeti'nin suçluların iadesi ilkesi konusunda neler yaptığını, ve süreciiyileştirmek adına ne gibi mekanizmalar geliştirdiğini analiz etmektedir. ABveArnavutluk'tan farklı olarak Kosova örneğinde devletlerin Kosova'yı tanımaması gibi karşılıklı işbirliğini etkileyen 'extra'engeller bulunmaktadır. ; Extraditionas legal concept as well as legal phenomenon at the international law has beenand is becoming one of the most important aspects to push states cooperates inorder to contribute to peace and security in the world today. As such, it isbroadly known phenomenon in the today's world. Countries worldwide are goingthrough serious attempts to consolidate and design it in the best possiblemodel aiming strengthening of peace and security by coordinating the activitiesand mechanism in order to ensure detention, put in trial or suffer thepunishment of each and every perpetrator. Extradition today appears one of themost important mechanism and instruments within the framework of EuropeanUnion. It is also becoming an important mechanism beyond Europe, namely incountries aspiring to be members of the European Union like Republic of Albaniaand Republic of Kosova. Thus this paper attempts to present and analyze theapproaches that, first of all EU is doing and in the following Republic ofAlbania and Republic of Kosovo, institutions are using to improve the process and consolidate theinstitute of Extradition, through which an rule of law, respect of humanrights, transparency and democratic life is promoted. Different from the usualpractices at EU level as well as countries like Albania with no contestedstatehood, in Kosovo case there are some "extra" obstacles as those of mutualcooperation between states which are still refusing the recognition of thecountry.
Sustainable development is the concept of a relationship between economic growth and the environment and especially when it comes to a new born country, such as Kosovo. It is naturally important for Kosovo as country, which used to be for a long time with no adequate attention in terms of the economic development under the Yugoslavian political, legal and economic development. Republic of Kosovo is among the richest countries in Europe and wider, seen on the perspective of natural and human resources as well as for geographical position. Nevertheless, the country never had the opportunity to develop itself, using its own resources. Internationally, based on Universal Declaration of Human Rights, International Covenants on Civil and Political Rights as well as the Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, when speaking for self-determination, apart from politics, these documents include the exclusive rights of nations to develop research as well as to orient its country economic resources and economic agenda. Therefore paper aims to present facts on the implication of domestic and international politics in relation to the economic development of a new born country. The analysis will be focused on the policies of Kosovo, as well as activities undertaken in the direction of building an attracting environment in Kosovo for Foreign Direct and Indirect Investments as well as to incite local and international initiatives for business, aiming the general economic growth and the economical sustainability of the state.
