FRONTPAGE_NO_TRANSLATION_AVAILABLE
July 2009 - On Tuesday 21 July, Saferworld launched a new report in Pristina entitled ‘Ready or not? Exploring the prospects for collecting illicit small arms and light weapons in Kosovo’. The report analyses people’s perceptions of small arms and light weapons (SALW) in Kosovo, and reviews previous weapons collection initiatives in Kosovo, as well as in the wider region, gathering a number of ‘lessons’ learned from these experiences. On this basis, recommendations are offered on how to increase the chances of success of any forthcoming weapons collection initiative. The report is launched in the context of a new law on weapons currently under review in Kosovo. Eckart Blaurock, Deputy Head of Mission for the German Embassy in Pristina opened the launch by expressing the German Government’s concern about the issue of illicit SALW in Kosovo and its support for the work of Saferworld and FIQ. The launch was well attended, with representatives from local police, Ministry of Interior, international institutions (ICO, EULEX and UNDP) and local non-governmental organisations, and was subsequently covered well in the local print and electronic media. The report is available in English, Albanian and Serbian. |

June 2009 - In response to an invitation for contributions by the Kosovo Security Council and the International Civilian Office in Kosovo, Saferworld has made a submission on the initial drafting of a Kosovo security strategy. The submission focuses on the purpose of a national security strategy, the process by which it is developed and the principles that underpin it. In particular Saferworld believes that a participatory approach is more likely to lead to the development of long-term strategies that can provide sustainable peace and stability for Kosovo and for the region. |

FRONTPAGE_NO_TRANSLATION_AVAILABLE
April 2009 - As part of the SafePlace project, Saferworld and the Forum for Civic Initiatives (FIQ) have provided support for Communication for Social Development (CSD) a non-governmental organisation (NGO) from Gracanice to create a Security Information Centre. CSD is one of the eight NGOs who were involved in Saferworld’s conflict analyses of 2007 and gave support in researching the report ‘Through the cross hairs – a survey of changing attitudes towards small arms in Kosovo’. As a follow-up to the conflict analysis CSD conducted a conflict mapping workshop in Gracanice. Based on the findings, CSD conducted a survey in Gracanice which identified the need for better communication between the citizens and institutions. CSD have established the new Security Information Centre with the aim of establishing sustainable two-way communication channels between the two groups. It is hoped this dialogue will contribute to a more secure community in Gracanice. |

February 2009 - Saferworld and our partner in Kosovo, the Forum for Civic Initiatives (FIQ) hosted a conference on community safety in Pristina. Over 50 people attended, including from our six community safety sites, donors, international and local organisations, police and government representatives. The event aimed to share experiences and lessons between communities and different agencies running community safety projects in Kosovo. It provided a good opportunity to feed into ongoing discussions on the development of national-level strategies on community and school safety. Most significantly, the panel consisted only of community representatives, giving them a rare platform from which to address government and donor agencies directly. |
