16 July 2010 Tonight, Life in Kosovo broadcasts two debates: one on the law of Nongovernmental Organisations and another on the parliamentary debate about the spring session of the Assembly of Kosovo.
Why is the law on NGOs being altered? Was there pressure for these alterations? Who is requesting the transformation of the micro-financial NGOs? How will this transformation reflect on the donors? Are the changes to this law in accordance with European principles of the civil society sector?

In the second debate, the journalist Muhamet Hajrullahu asked deputies as well as representatives from civil society whether they thought the Assembly of Kosovo has fulfilled its obligations that it had agreed to at the beginning of this year.
To discuss these topics, guest in the studio will be:
Bahri Hyseni – Deputy from PDK and chairman of the Legislation Commission
Armend Zemaj – Deputy from LDK
Gjylnaze Syla –Deputy from AAK

Analytical report of research into the standards and problems at the University of Prishtina. Ten years since the end of the war in Kosovo, the University of Prishtina (UP) continues to suffer from a variety of problems, resulting in persistently low quality courses being offered. For this reason, BIRN conducted research into the problems faced by UP students. The data gathered suggests that, out of the many issues reported, the most significant are: the non-implementation of contemporary teaching and assessment methods, the lack of practical work for students, the lack of appropriate academic literature, arbitrary assessments by
professors and generally poor relationships between students and their professors.
