Kosova’da Yeniden Yapılandırma Çalışmaları Kapsamında Bugünkü Durum
The Present Situation Within the Coverage of Reconstruction Efforts in Kosovo

Summary/Abstract: Kosovo won her independence subsequent to internal state conflicts came to an end in the Balkan geography after the Cold War. Based on a structure of ethnic and religious majority, it is a situation that not only affects Kosovo itself but also the stability of the region as a whole. After the disintegration of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1991, the Albanian and Serbian intransigence between 1998 and 1999, and as a result of the clashes that subsequently took place due to this intransigence dealt a political and economic blow to this country, which at the pinnacle of ethnic nationalism, entered a new phase after the end of the conflict with the intervention of the international community and in particular NATO. After NATO’s intervention on 24 March 1999, the country began to be administered by the international community through the UN Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) in accordance with the UN Security Council’s Resolution No. 1244 of June 1999. Again in line with the resolution adopted by the UN, a Peace Keeping Force was deployed under NATO command that continues to this day. In accordance with Resolution No. 1244, the country emerged as a separate entity if not officially but de facto from the Serbia and Montenegro Federation. The theoretical framework of the Restructuring Model of the Kosovo State embodied and sustained by the international community; its realization and application in Kosovo proper; its status after twelve years; the provision of peace and stability that forms the basis of this model as well as the point reached and its future in the process of integrating with the international community are the main topics of this article. However, while undertaking these issues, the basic deadlocks and questions regarding the construction stage that is being attempted and the point reached today by this administrative model set by the international community in the 21st century will also be considered. In undertaking this analysis, the point of departure will be based on the thesis that success will be difficult in attaining peace and stability and its continuity that is within the coverage of this Reconstruction Model and implemented within Kosovo proper, due to the ethnic nationalism existing in the country.
