This report reviews initial activities undertaken by Kosovo institutions – at the central and local levels – to implement the measures foreseen by the Action Plan on the Implementation of the Strategy for the Integration of Roma, Ashkali and Egyptian Communities (2009-2015). The report is based on regular monitoring activities of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe Mission in Kosovo (OSCE) aimed at promoting and protecting human and communities rights. In order to gather the necessary information, the OSCE conducted interviews with representatives of the relevant ministries, governmental offices, municipal officials, and international and local stakeholders working to support the integration of the Roma, Ashkali and Egyptian communities. The report covers the period from December 2009 to September 2010. Events such as the long-delayed closure of the lead-contaminated Cesmin Lug camp in the northern part of Mitrovica/Mitrovicë, which had been inhabited by Roma and Ashkali displaced persons, have been included despite falling outside this reporting period.
