Kosovo’s European Integration Minister, Bekim Collaku, announced that the government today adopted the proposal for Open Data Charter that will enable the individuals, media, civil society, and businesses access to government records. Collaku said Kosovo is catching up with recent European and global trends in this aspect. “Apart from the fact that this is a very important step in increasing the transparency and accountability, the disclosure of data is also of benefit to public and private institutions and ultimately, to every citizen”, wrote Collaku on his Facebook profile.
