A special place of study also is the tax burden on Kosovo, which is\u00a0presented for the second time by the ALTAX Center. Calculation of the share they have in relation to budget and\u00a0domestic regional production is an indicator that aims to present disproportion between the regions in the two\u00a0Albanian states, but also between the Balkan regions themselves, where a special part holds the six Western\u00a0Balkan countries. The Balkans are part of Europe, geographically surrounded by EU members. The peoples of\u00a0the EU and the region have a common heritage and future history determined by common opportunities and\u00a0challenges. The EU has long been strongly committed to the region. From the Thessaloniki European Council in
\n2003, it has supported the region’s future as an integral part of the EU.<\/p>\n
The purpose of presenting this study is to present important implications for the cities and countries involved in\u00a0the study, since taxes, and fees are a key part of the tax burden and a source for enabling public services that\u00a0impact on competitiveness and quality of life, economy and welfare of countries and cities. The data used for
\nthe calculations are obtained from official statistics sources, from finances, taxes and organizations that keep\u00a0data and publish them, both domestically and externally. Part of the data was processed and used to compare\u00a0and serve as the main reference for the presentation. The study aims to attract policymakers and scholars
\nattention, fiscal media, fiscal policy analysts and tax administration authorities, as well as critics who can reserve\u00a0comment reviews or have questions about the calculations and facts presented in the document.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
