In Kosova, the New Growth Plan was received with a pronounced enthusiasm. It reconfirmed the EU’s commitment to the country’s integration in the face of the reversible measures introduced in May 2023 that are, nonetheless, in force to this day. Kosova is set to benefit €883 million in five key policy areas listed as: Governance, Public Administration Reforms and Public Finance Management, Green and Digital Transition, Private Sector Development and Business Environment, Human Capital Development and Retention and, Fundamentals / Rule of Law.5 Given that Kosova’s national income is the lowest in the region, it will benefit the largest amount of funding on per capita basis. As the Commission approved Kosova’s Reform Agenda (RA) in October 2023, the scene is set for its implementation.
