title: State Building Challenges and the European Integration Process: The Kosovo Case
abstract: Kosovo, a new state which is in the process of international recognition of its statehood, after the 1999 war, and until the declaration of independence in 2008, has faced a number of challenges during its efforts to build the democratic system and order.
