Summary/Abstract: Based on the adopted so-called ,,Ahtisari Plan", the territory of Kosovo was administratively reorganized. New small municipalities with predominantly Serbian population and one with the Turkish population were formed, with the aim of minority communities in Kosovo to self-administer the local level. Immediately after the war there were 30 municipalities in Kosovo, and until now there are 6 new municipalities, with a tendency of forming some other small municipalities. These and other municipalities that are operating in Kosovo have their own operational archives, in order to keep the material up to 30 years, and after that the law on archives and archives are obliged to submit to the competent regional archives, which are operating in Kosovo in Pristina, Pee, Djakovica, Mitrovica, Prizren and Gnjilane. While the other archival service in Kosovo is centralized and unified and indivisible, which I think is very positive, and in line with international standards where prominent senior expertise comes to its fullest.
