We believe that evidence-based public debates stand at the core of democratic decision making.

The work of IKS is also supported by an Advisory Board including Kosovar and international analysts and practitioners. Since its inception IKS work has focused on issues of governance, economic development, urban planning, corruption in post-war reconstruction, education, Kosovo’s image problem and environmental issues. IKS is also part of ESI-inspired network of think-tanks across South East Europe.
