European Centre

The European Centre – Kosovo (EC-K) is a non-governmental organisation, focused on European Integration processes and their implications on the route for Kosovo towards the European Union. It also aims to contribute to the development of professional skills for young professionals in Kosovo, preparing them for their future work in the field of European integration.

European Centre-Kosovo builds its experience and activities on the
a) need,
b) euro enthusiasm, and
c) awareness raising and capacity building in Kosovo.
It was officially registered in November 2003 as an international NGO. Building on its initial success and on the professionalism as well as the euro-enthusiasm of the Kosovar professionals, the Centre was re-registered and since July 2004 operates as an NGO in Kosovo.

The Centre is led by European Union specialists, with a long working experience in Brussels and the Balkans. The young specialists have studied at the Faculties of law, economy and political sciences. Many of them work for the international development organisations established in Kosovo after the war and also are enrolled or about to start master degree programs on EU issues, in different specialised Universities throughout Europe: wine cooler

Since its establishment, the European Centre - Kosovo has organized and participated in many projects.

Indeed, the breakup of the Eastern bloc has led to bloody conflicts like ethno-religious (the massacres in Bosnia and Kosovo ...) threatening the security of the Union. This new situation has led the EU to adopt a policy of enlargement to Eastern Europe where human rights (as well as the principles of market economy) are included as preconditions for any negotiations for membership (the Copenhagen criteria): http://2012realitymatrix.blogspot.com
However, if the EU has shown consistency in its policy of promoting human rights vis-à-vis the countries of Eastern Europe, where integration into the community space for the Mediterranean countries the promotion of human rights has become more problematic than ever especially after the September 11 attacks, causing the flood according to some a kind of "fatalism against terrorism."
