After the meeting, in a press conference, Minister Tahiri emphasized that the institutions that implement this Strategy are champions of reform. Minister Tahiri announced that, out of 18 draft laws that the Strategy seeks to amend, 16 have already been approved.

According to Minister Tahiri, the main change made in the 5 years of the implementation of this Strategy is the improvement of property inheritance by women in Kosovo, which so far has been very low.

“Today we have managed to create a situation that empowers women in inheritance and this is a very important agenda in strengthening the position of women in Kosovo society”, said Minister Tahiri.

Minister Tahiri has also mentioned the changes made with regard to free legal professions, namely the amendment of the Law on Notary, the Law on Enforcement Procedure, and the Law on Contested Procedure.

“We have a clear agenda that will further help the economic development of the country by clarifying the legal status of public property, and also by clarifying property rights in detail and thus creating a better environment also for investments in the Republic of Kosovo” said Minister Tahiri.

Minister Tahiri thanked USAID for supporting the implementation of the Strategy for which 10 million dollars have been allocated by US taxpayers for 5 years.

For its part, the USAID Director, Ms. Lisa Magno emphasized that despite the proper legal regulation, concrete steps should be taken in the transparent implementation of these laws, until the lives of the citizens of Kosovo are changed for better.
