Free Movement of Capital in Kosovo – Compliance with EU Criteria in the Light of Non-Contractual Relations

Abstract

Since the free movement of capital as one of the fundamental freedoms of the Internal Market of the EU is an important sphere of the financial integration process of Kosovo in the EU, its implementation in Kosovo will be presented in the light of Kosovo’s non-contractual relationship with the EU. In this regard, the implementation of European standards in terms of ensuring this freedom by Kosovo will be treated through a brief background, an analysis of the EU Progress Reports related to Kosovo (from 2005 to 2013), through a presentation of peculiarities and similarities of Kosovo’s financial system as compared to other countries, and through a presentation of the current legal position of Kosovo in terms of overall financial integration.
