The European Parliament debated and adopted resolutions on the Commission reports on Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia and Serbia at the last week’s session. In every report, there is substantial language on LGBTIQ+ issues. Key concerns per country include:
The Basic Court in Pristina made a landmark decision in December 2019, affirming the right to change both name and sex marker in personal documents to Blert Morina from Kosovo.
The new Criminal Code of Kosovo, published in the Official Gazette on 14 January 2019 and entered into force on 14 April 2019 comes with stronger protections for LGBTI citizens.
Even though this was not the first public outdoor event of the country, today Kosovo marked its first Pride Parade, with LGBTI activists and supporters marching from the capitals Skanderbeg Square to Zahir Pajaziti Square.
