| This dissertation discusses the legal status of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods ("CISG") in the Republic of Kosovo ("Kosovo"). It provides information on the application of the CISG in Kosovo from 1989, when Kosovo was still part of Yugoslavia, to date. Uncertainties characterizing the application of this international treaty in Kosovo are both substantial and unique. The resulting circumstances and challenges are reviewed in this dissertation, providing information regarding the current status of the CISG in Kosovo (Section 2), its use both as domestic law (Sections 1.2.2, 1.2.3, 2.2 and 2.3) and as an international treaty (Sections 1.2.1 and 2.1), the efforts to make the Convention applicable through the principle of succession of treaties (Sections 2.1.1, 2.1.2 and 2.1.3), and the alternative methods of application that have been adopted through Kosovo's domestic law (Sections 2.2 and 2.3). |
