Sažetak
Being part of the former Socialist Federation of Yugoslavia, according to the Constitution and applicable legislation, Kosovo had social ownership expressed through social enterprises, state properties and ownership by private owners. This system was unique to former Yugoslavia and differs from other former socialist countries. In this aspect, Kosovo, in the democratic transition process, faced the challenges of transforming the first two types of ownership to adapt to the market economy. Social ownership (social enterprises) was presented for privatization through the competent institution (Kosovo Trust Agency, Privatization Agency of Kosovo), while state enterprises received a new status - public enterprises which were transformed into joint-stock companies. This paper elaborates on the privatization process of social and state property according to the model of the free market economy. The paper analyses the legislation and the role of competent institutions as carriers of the property transformation process in the Republic of Kosovo. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the difficulties and challenges of the process of democratic transformation of the society and state institutions of Kosovo from the Socialist System to the Liberal Democracy expressed through the transformation of ownership - the process
of privatization of social enterprises and the transformation of state enterprises into public joint stock companies. The paper is analysed by a methodological framework expressed through analysis and synthesis, descriptive method, statistical and comparative method. The paper highlights the difficulties which Kosovo has been passing and continues to face as a new state in the process of privatization and the unwanted effects that this process has had on the economic development of the country.
