Zavada, Milan ; Handl, Vladimír (advisor) ; Šístek, František (referee)
The Bachelor Analysis of selected aspects of Czech-Kosovo relations in the perspective of the southern Balkans between 2008-2014 deals with three main aspects of the relations between the Czech Republic and The Republic of Kosovo: diplomatic and political aspect, mutual economic relations aspect and the Czech development aid. Centerpiece of the thesis predominantly consists of the mutual relations from 2008 to 2014. The core of this thesis lies especially in an empirical analysis of lesser known facts whilst also looking at whether mutual relations have been unfavourable to Kosovo since its independence. This thesis analyses Czech foreign policy based on these three features and compares it to selected Balkan countries. All of the Balkan countries used for this comparison are introduced with respect to relevant factors for this analysis. The same applies to foreign policy relations of the Czech Republic and Kosovo. Given this comparative analysis, it enables us to evaluate the results of Czech diplomatic efforts towards Kosovo. In conclusion, it finds that mutual dealings have not been unfavourable nor influenced by prejudice against Albanians held by the Czech public as well as part of the Czech political representatives.

Estimating the determinants of FDI in Transition economies: comparative analysis of the Republic of Kosovo
Berisha, Jetëmira ; Dědek, Oldřich (advisor) ; Benáček, Vladimír (referee)
This study develops a panel data analysis over 27 transition and post transition economies for the period 2003-2010. Its intent is to investigate empirically the true effect of seven variables into foreign flows and takes later on the advantage of observed findings to conduct a comparative analysis between Kosovo and regional countries such: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia. As the breakdown period (2008-2010) was included in the data set used to modelling the behaviour of FDI, both Chow test and the time dummies technique suggest the presence of structural break. Ultimately, empirical results show that FDI is positively related with one year lagged effect of real GDP growth, trade openness, labour force, low level of wages proxied by remittances, real interest rate and the low level of corruption. Besides, the corporate income tax is found to be significant and inversely related with foreign flows. The comparative analysis referring the growth rate of real GDP shows that Kosovo has the most stable macroeconomic environment in the region, but still it is continuously confronted by the high deficit of trade balance and high rate of unemployment. Appart, the key obstacle that has abolished efforts for foreign investment attraction is found to be the trade blockade of...
