Title: ECONOMIC ZONES IN KOSOVO, THEIR IMPACT ON EMPLOYMENT AND EXPORT
Author: Klaiqi, Sabri
Abstract: Economic zones are one of the most effective tools that allow the state to attract investments in the field of the national economy. The internationalization of economic life, the need for more efficient use of geographical advantages, and other advantages of certain territories led to the creation of special economic zones in many countries. International economic zones contribute to the creation of jobs for qualified personnel, thus contributing to the preservation of intellectual potential in the country, whilst the economic zones also affect the increase of the percentage of exports. The main factor in creating an economic zone is the favorable economic and geographical position and attraction for foreign and domestic investors. This research is dedicated to the economic zones in the Republic of Kosovo, specifically to four functional economic zones in Kosovo. To identify the main factors and the impact of economic zones I have compiled a questionnaire with 10 closed questions and 1 open question. The questionnaire is a sample of over 50% of economic operators operating in these four areas. The questionnaire was distributed to 64 companies, 22 questionnaires in the Business Park in Drenas, 21 questionnaires in the Shiroka Industrial Zone, 13 of them in the Business/Industrial Park in Mitrovica, and 8 questionnaires in Shtime Technology Park. If the economy of the state leaves much to be desired and is appealing to foreign investors, then one of the ways out of this situation are economic or special zones organized within the country. Within these individual territories, it is possible to apply a completely different industrial, investment, fiscal, and tariff policy.
