Briefings
In Kosovo, the NGO Sbunker launched Kosovo.report in 2026 to streamline citizen reporting of community issues like potholes and illegal waste. The platform aims to bypass bureaucratic red tape by routing reports to the correct departments automatically. Hana Deva, the project manager, led the initiative as part of the Digital Spark project, working with the Municipality of Prishtina to finalize a Memorandum of Understanding for the pilot phase in Prishtina.
Key points
- The Kosovo.report platform was launched in 2026 by the NGO Sbunker to address the confusion and unresponsiveness of state institutions in Kosovo.
- The project involves a Memorandum of Understanding between Sbunker and the Municipality of Prishtina to route citizen reports to the correct departments automatically.

This initiative, part of the Digital Spark project, aims to simplify civic engagement by providing a direct channel for citizens to report issues and track their status.
Limitations
The evidence is limited to a single interview with Hana Deva and mentions of a planned pilot phase in Prishtina. Specific numbers, dates, or outcomes beyond the launch and pilot preparation are not provided.
