Abstract: Abstract Spatial planning in Albania and Kosovo has evolved quickly over the last decade. The introduction of new legislation combined with different planning initiatives has aimed at institutionalising the new comprehensive and integrated approach. Although legislation and planning instruments have changed relatively quickly, practice is still evolving in the dichotomy between the new and the old customs. An integral part of planning practice is also the involvement of the citizens during the planning process. The chapter looks first at the theoretical discourse regarding participation in planning resulting in a set of criteria for analysing both case studies. After that, the case studies will be compared as regards the legal basis and the requirements for public participation in spatial planning and then continue with the analysis based on the main aspects resulting from the theoretical discussion.
