Starting a business
Kosovo made starting a business easier by eliminating the minimum capital require-ment and business registration fee and streamlining the business registration process.
Protecting investors
Kosovo strengthened investor protections by introducing a requirement for shareholder approval of related-party transactions, requiring greater disclosure of such transactions in the annual report and making it easier to sue directors when such transactions are prejudicial.
Employing workers
Kosovo introduced a minimum wage.
Conclusion
Kosovo’s overall ranking for the ease of doing business has declined steadily since 2009. Legal reforms are underway to strengthen the collateral framework to allow speedier repossession and sale of foreclosed assets in cases of borrower default.
The most problematic factors for doing business in Kosovo:
Inefficient government bureaucracy
Corruption
Access to financing
Inadequately educated workforce
Inadequate supply of infrastructure
Government instability/coups
