Freidrich Ebert Stiftung supported a conference on: "Social Policies in Kosovo-Results and challenges” organised by the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare  and “Mother Theresa” Society

11.06.2009 - Hotel Grand Prishtina  (Agenda: EN , AL , SR )

The focus of the debate was the analysis of the current social situation and the steps which need to be taken for the overcoming of these difficulties, especially about the measures that have to be taken for the keeping of the existing jobs, the mechanisms and the practical functioning of the social dialogue and the social protection schemes existing already.

The economic world crisis produced many serious problems of social sphere.  Loss of jobs, reduction of incomes, as well as the narrowing of the possibilities of the state to intervene through adequate social policies for the protection of most vulnerable categories, present only one side of the consequences caused by this crisis. These consequences surely have had an impact in countries in transition, among them countries of South-East Europe, in which social problems may influence the political scene and thus challenge the stability of these countries.
