The involvement of women in decision-making is extremely important and is proof that their participation makes the process more successful and more sustainable. This was said at the conference marking the start of the project "Involvement of Women at the Negotiating Table" by the EU Office in Kosovo. It was emphasized that Kosovo has made progress in the selection of women in senior leadership positions, but that it was emphasized that there is still a lot of work to be done to ensure that women have equal opportunities in decision-making. The Head of the EU Office in Kosovo, Thomas Szunyog, said that women are taking institutional responsibility in Kosovo, and he said that he hopes to see such a trend at the local level as well. Szunyog stated that the fact that women have taken senior leadership positions in Kosovo is a positive indicator, but that this does not mean that women have equal opportunities in decision-making.
