Reference to public Pulse analysis, there is a decline in trust in key institutions é legislative, executive and judicial. According to Richardson, Kosovo has drafted good laws and policies that enable the creation of trust between citizens and institutions, but “the question is their translation into justice for all in Kosovo -- women, men and children”. The sectors that mostly suffer from corruption, according to Richardson, are education, health and public procurement.

The UNDP has recently launched the 16-day campaign, which, as Richardson has said, is aimed at fighting violence against girls and women, domestic violence, as well as in advancing gender equality.

The UNDP resident representative for Kosovo in the interview given “Koha Ditore” has also spoken of the importance of visa liberalisation for Kosovo.

The key question here is which Europe is punishing with nonliberalisation of visas. I think they're punishing ordinary citizens, young people who want to study abroad or those who want to visit their families”.

As far as dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia is concerned, Richardson has placed emphasis on inclusion. According to her, whatever the solution, she should ensure the well - being of all communities living in this space, whether that majority or minority.

The more civil society is involved, including women, the more stable is an agreement after conflict”, Richardson stressed.

In the interview, she has also spoken of the process of transforming KSF into the military, violent extremism and public administration reforms.
