Technical support and assessment of international law and practices

In the context of the European integration process of Kosovo*, further analysis is needed to benchmark its IP framework against international standards. This activity will provide technical support for assessing relevant international IP laws and practices and identifying areas for further alignment.

During AWP1 (2026), the project will focus on preparatory and analytical work, including defining the scope of work and a roadmap for a comprehensive assessment. In 2027 (AWP 2), the project will continue its support with a structured analysis of selected international legal instruments, standards and practices in key areas of IP, benchmarking the legal and institutional framework in Kosovo* against international treaties, EU legislation and practices. The expected result is a clearer understanding of relevant EU and international IP frameworks and a set of practical recommendations for Kosovo*.
