On December 2, at Soma Book Station in Prishtina, the Group for Legal and Political Studies (GLPS) held a morning meeting with media representatives to discuss the role of the media in reporting on developments and progress in Kosovo’s Public Administration Reform.

The meeting brought together representatives from BIRN, KOHA-KTV, and the Association of Journalists of Kosovo, alongside GLPS Executive Director Njomza Arifi, Programme Manager Ema Pula, and Researchers Blerina Istrefi and Besar Gergi.

Discussions focused on ongoing efforts to improve public service delivery, the media’s role in informing citizens about new digital services, challenges in accessing public institutions, and government measures to make services more efficient and citizen-friendly. Participants also highlighted the importance of journalists in holding institutions accountable and ensuring that reforms respond to citizens’ needs.

The meeting provided an opportunity to exchange experiences and address challenges in reporting on public administration, including limited access to institutional information, difficulties in obtaining data, and the need for clearer government communication. It also helped strengthen cooperation between GLPS and media representatives, encouraging the exchange of practical ideas to increase public awareness and visibility of reform efforts.

The meeting was organised within the framework of the WeBER 3.0 project (Western Balkan Enablers for Reforming Public Administrations), funded by the European Union and implemented in partnership with the Think for Europe Network (TEN).
