Jashari-Kajtazi, Teuta
We should never leave behind the fact that after the “Wall” went down in Berlin, it became a location with various judgments and possibilities in the sphere of design and architecture, especially in the architecture of diplomacy which had and still has a chance to clearly symbolize the particular nation. What could be noticed in this particular work is the fact of a group of nations being able to adapt to openness and contemporary concepts, concretely, what the world/ earth needs for the moment and the way others try to show their power by building fortresses (this might not even be considered power, but the way to be protected from others). It seems to be unfortunate that architecture will always be in the dilemma of what can be done and what should be done. As a result, the analysis of the study object shows the representation of a State, Country or Region in an architectural context, however, it can be noticed that they all go in different directions or better say, try to express different understanding of how should they be represented in this particular environment and what is for them (the Nation) of a greater importance.

Govori, Malva
The Government of Kosovo has recently signed an agreement with Turkey on a bilateral Free Trade Agreement in Goods. However, the negotiations in signing a free trade agreement in services are still on-going. This is the first time since Kosovo became independent in 2008 that the Government of Kosovo has been engaged in trade negotiations, as its so-far single trade agreement, the CEFTA 2006, was negotiated by UNMIK. The absence of experience in trade negotiations in itself creates challenges for the government when negotiating with Turkey on such a complex issue, as service trade liberalization. An additional challenge is created by parallel negotiations with CEFTA partners and the European Union. The purpose of this paper is to provide background information on services trade negotiators with Turkey, in order to formulate an appropriate position for the proposed negotiations. The paper focuses on the regulatory (legal) aspects of possible liberalization measures/commitments by Kosovo and Turkey.

Shabani, Gëzim
The main purpose of this study was to study the consumer behavior on the loan interest rates in Kosovo. This study is based on the data collected through direct interviews with consumers who have loans from commercial banks in Kosovo. The results obtained show that 98.1% of respondents think that bank in Kosovo offer loans with high interest rates. Results obtained from respondents indicate that 96.1% of them think that it is reasonable that banks reduce/lower interest rates and offer loans with lower interest rates, while another interesting result shows that it is an opinion that banks have agreements among themselves in order to keep this high rate of interest, 49.1% of respondents are of the same opinion. Commercial banks operating in Kosovo have justified these high rates with the high risk of loan return, but 51.7 % of respondents do not share the same opinion as banks that the risk of return is the reason for high rates of interest, since commercial banks that operate in Kosovo, stand much better that other Balkan countries in bad loan ranking.
