The rights of national minorities in Kosovo are rights guaranteed through national legislation starting from the constitution, international norms applied directly in the constitution, as well as specific legislation that regulates the rights of non-majority communities in the Republic of Kosovo. Therefore, these rights have strong guarantees, since the state of Kosovo, beside this has arranged these types of rights in an advanced manner as well as has created legal procedures, where 2/3 of the representatives of the nonmajority communities who are MPs of the Kosovo Assembly apart from the Albanian majority are required to vote for any change of the legislation Likewise, the established institutional mechanisms that protect these rights and develop strategic programs for the advancement of these rights are specifically created mechanisms for the protection and guarantee of the rights of non-majority communities in Kosovo.
