Abstract: This paper discusses the evolution of community-building in conflict-prone Kosovo. While analyzing the application of a general concept of community-building in a concrete multi-ethnic setting, current needs and prerequisites for multi-ethnic community development are discussed and a set of policy recommendations is proposed. Community-building usually refers to a participative process of responding to local challenges through organizing and strengthening social connections and building common values. However, to understand that process in a multi-ethnic setting within the context of ongoing decentralization in Kosovo, the issue of civil and ethnic identity and identity-related perceptions and values are considered as well.
