Balkan Case: Contradictions, Problems and Possibilities of Applying the Experience of PostWar Development of Kosovo for Ukraine

The basic factors for Ukraine's post-war recovery are security, stability, effective strategy focused on sustainable development, and the ability to attract investment resources. The analysis and application of the experience of countries that have already gone through post-crisis periods of turbulence, especially in comparable periods of time, are essential for analysis and possible application. The indicative aspects of such force majeure events should be studied and used as predictors for post-war planning of economic and social development in Ukraine. Thus, a detailed examination of the course of events in the Balkans, and in Kosovo in particular, makes it possible to establish certain benchmarks (indicators) of the relevance of the Balkan crisis to the current aspects of Ukraine's development: migration, demographics, legal issues, political settlement of the conflict, etc. This determines the need to analyse and provide possible recommendations for the fruitfulness and effectiveness of steps towards the post-war recovery of Ukraine's economy. The article highlights a pool of problems and the existing potential of Kosovo, illustrates measures of state support for the development of entrepreneurship and international cooperation to end the military conflict, and the institutional genesis of Kosovo. It demonstrates in quantitative terms the current state of Kosovo's economy as a synergistic result of the social efforts of many stakeholders. Conclusions are drawn about the course and resolution of the Balkan crisis for Ukraine's post-war development. Particular attention is paid to possible scenarios for resolving the military phase thanks to the existing and proven models of the Dayton Accords as an important framework milestone on the path from peaceful settlement to multidimensional partnership.
