Abstract
The Country Opinion Survey in Kosovo assists the World Bank Group (WBG) in gaining a better understanding of how stakeholders in Kosovo perceive the WBG.
It provides the WBG with systematic feedback from national and local governments, multilateral/bilateral agencies, media, academia, the private sector, and civil society in Kosovo on:
1) their views regarding the general environment in Kosovo;
2) their overall attitudes toward the WBG in Kosovo;
3) overall impressions of the WBG’s effectiveness and results, knowledge work and activities, and communication and information sharing in Kosovo;
4) their perceptions of the WBG’s future role in Kosovo.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
From May to June 2016, 240 stakeholders of the WBG in Kosovo were invited to provide their opinions on the WBG’s work in the country by participating in a country opinion survey. Participants were drawn from the Office of the President/Prime Minister; office of a minister; office of a parliamentarian; ministries/ministerial departments/implementation agencies; Project Management Units (PMUs) overseeing implementation of WBG projects; consultants/ contractors working on WBG-supported projects/programs; local governments; bilateral/ multilateral agencies; private sector organizations; private foundations; the financial sector/ private banks; NGOs/community based organizations; the media; independent government institutions; trade unions; faith-based groups; youth groups; academia/research institutes/think tanks; the judiciary branch; and other organizations. A total of 105 stakeholders participated in the survey (44% response rate).

44%
Weighting
The results in this year’s Country Survey were compared to those in the Country Survey conducted in FY’13 (response rate was 50%, N=101). As a rule, the COS data are weighted for year comparisons in order to reach the same stakeholder composition in two fiscal years. However, in the case of Kosovo, due to the small number of respondents in the FY’13 and FY’16 Country Surveys and different stakeholder composition in the samples, weighting would have been statistically unsound. Therefore, only basic comparisons of the unweighted data from the FY’13 and FY’16 Country Surveys are presented in the report and should be considered provisional. For the FY’13 and FY’16 stakeholder breakdown and year comparison results, please see appendix D in the report.
