Three years SAA, challenges in implementing this agreement

Regarding this agreement, Demush Shasha, from the institute The EPIK, has declared for the Arbrel portal.info, that the SAA, in political terms, has established co-operation that Kosovo must approach and implement EU legislation, while in terms of economics, this pre-term calendar agreement within which full market liberalisation will be made between Kosovo and the EU.

“We political aspect, the SAA, has set the legal framework of co-operation within which Kosovo must approach and implement EU legislation, and therefore advance on its integration path. While economically, the SAA has envisioned the timeline within which full market liberalisation will take place between Kosovo and the EU”, Demush Shasha, from the EPIK institute, has said of the Arbrete portal.

Demush Shasha, has stressed that the EU and Kosovo will no longer sign any agreements until the Membership Treaty.

The importance of the SAA is best reflected in the fact that the EU and Kosovo will no longer sign any agreements until the Membership Treaty. The SAA on 600 pages, X titles, 7 extensions and 5 protocols regulate almost every aspect of the daily lives of citizens. The SAA is the foundation of the European integration process. Economically, the SAA has offered Kosovo businesses access to a market of more than 500 million consumers”, Demush Shasha of the EPIK institute has declared.

According to Demush Shasha, the implementation of the SAA, still sees a challenge in addressing structural reforms in the European integration process, such as rule of law, improving the education system and increasing competitiveness.

“As regards the implementation of the SAA, we still see challenges in addressing structural reforms in the European integration process, such as rule of law, improving the education system and increasing competitiveness. The lack of reform implementation well shows the low level of implementation of the European Reforms Agency (ERA) and the SAA Implementation Programme. Since the launch of ERA in 2016, institutions have been able to implement only 5 out of the 22 ERA priorities, while in 2018 it failed to apply 1/3 of the MSA Implementation Programme”, Shasha declared the Arbre Gate.

The doctor, from the “Group for Jury and Political Studies”, for the Arbrete portal.info, has stated that the SAA is the government's most important agreement on the road towards European integration.

The Stabilisation and Association Agreement is the Government of Kosovo's most important agreement on our path to European integration. As a very important strategic document that is, The SAA brings benefits to Kosovo by enabling reforms that are only positive for our country and the future in the European Union”, the doctor from the GLSP has declared. The doctor pointed out that Kosovo's institutions, for 2017, have implemented 908 activities, while 642 activities in terms of this agreement have been completed in 2018.

Kosovo's <x0IInstitutions have realised 241 activities, where 34.84% of this agreement has been completed in the first six months of 2017, while in the second six months, 667 activities have been realised this year, where 39% of this agreement has been completed.
