Publisher: Group for Legal and Political Studies (GLPS), Kosovo Date: June 2012 Volume: 22 pages, pdf Description This policy brief discusses Kosovo's energy market strategy. It first explains the structure of Kosovo’s energy market, its institutional setting, and the aims and energy strategy of the government. It then looks at why electricity market reform has a macro-economic impact and why liberalization of the energy market according to EU rules is important for Kosovo’s market development. It concludes with the assertion that the current government’s electricity market strategy and policy are in contrast to the EU energy competition benchmarks and are not supportive of the gradual liberalization and efficient structuring of Kosovo's energy market.
