Index Kosova, joint venture with BBSS Gallup
International, conducted a public opinion poll in May 2002,
where several questions were posed to Kosovar citizens about
the most important things in life and trust in different institutions.
The survey was concluded from 17th-23rd May throughout Kosova
with 1,000 Albanian citizens aged 18 years plus.
The research was conducted with the stratified multi-staged
method, a random method, that ensures a representative coverage
of Albanian citizens of Kosova.

Still, ‘To live in freedom’
is what matters most in life for Kosovar Albanians (46.4%).
However, this is not so important as it was back in December
1999 (81.7%). It seems that at the end of 1999, when Kosova
was free and when people were facing something they have
been waiting for quite a long time, all other problems seemed
to be somewhat less important. ‘To live in freedom’
was well above other things, such as ‘to have a job’,
‘to get an education’, ‘to live in a country
without violence and corruption’, etc. Today, things
have changed significantly. The results show that one of
greatest concerns of citizens is the issue of unemployment.
In December 1999, only 14.3% of respondents have declared
that ‘to have a job’ is what matters most in life,
whereas today this percentage has reached 34.7%. Other things
are also somewhat more important today than they were at
the end of 1999. Here it should be emphasised that today
22.7% of respondents sat that ‘to have a happy family’
is what matters most in life, while in December 1999, this
percentage was 16.4%
On the other hand, data reveal that the personal welfare
of the majority of Kosovar citizens defends on politics
– 11.4% of respondents declare that it depends ‘quite
e lot’, 31.2% depends ‘to some extent’, 22%
depends ‘just a little’ and with 33% of respondents
stating that their personal welfare ‘does not depend
at all’ on politics.
Trust in institutions
Results of this survey reveal that
citizens of Kosova trust most in their relatives, then in
KPS, KPC, Kosova Assembly and Government of Kosova, whereas
they trust least in banks and the media.
