This report presents the findings of a Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW) Survey of Kosovo, commissioned by South Eastern and Eastern Europe Clearinghouse for the Control of SALW (SEESAC) and undertaken by the Kosovo-based NGO Forum for Civic Initiatives, in partnership with Saferworld. By providing information that may support the work of security providers, policy makers and legislators, the SALW Survey is intended as a contribution to ongoing attempts at controlling SALW in Kosovo. As such, it covers four main areas of analysis: the distribution of SALW across Kosovo, the impact of SALW on the human environment, the views of the public towards SALW and security in their communities, and the capacity of institutions for dealing with SALW problems in Kosovo.
