For centuries Kosovo remained a disputed region between Serbs and Albanians. Sparse historical data reaching back to 14th century indicated the origins of the conflict, resulting from the outcomes of the Battle of Kosovo Polje in 1389, out of which derived statehoods of both Serbia and Kosovo. For Serbs this region is connected to the dawn of the Serb Orthodox Church. On the other hand the Kosovo Albanians claim that themselves being the descendants of the ancient nation of Illyrians, inhabited this region for millennia. Currently it is estimated that among the republic’s population approximately 90% are Kosovo Albanians. During Yugoslavia’s existence, Kosovo gained the status of an autonomous province within the borders of Serbia, one of the six republics of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. In spite of its autonomy Kosovo was entirely dominated by the Serb Republic. People of Kosovo never ceased in their efforts to obtain the status of a separate republic. The dispute turned into an armed conflict resulting in ethnic cleansing conducted by Serbs on the Albanian population. They were one of the reasons for the armed intervention and ensuing long-term presence in Kosovo of the NATO forces, the United Nations UNMIK mission, the European Union EULEX mission and a number of humanitarian and non-governmental organizations assisting in the state-building of the newly created republic. In the current publication the author presents the issue of multidimensionality of the international support for Kosovo in the area of security after 1998, with a special focus on the reform of the security sector. This article is a result of theoretical and empirical research. The scientific method was based on the analyses of the outcomes of discussions, consultations and interviews conducted with representatives of international organizations and selected countries. This publication was also based on interpretations of recent international events and conclusions of analyses of the indicated bibliography.

The contribution deals with selected asylum and refugee issues in the context of international administration carried out by international organisations. The topic, which remained unexplored in legal literature, is dealt with against the backdrop of UNMIK as the UN mission tasked with governing Kosovo from 1999 to 2008. The paper focuses on the position of the UN as a potential agent of protection and analyses the position of UNMIK towards the refugees returning to Kosovo. In addition, it outlines how this issue was dealt with by some of the national courts of the EU member states. Another group seeking protection, that the article pays attention to, are people coming to Kosovo in search of international protection from 1999 to 2008, i.e. in the time period when Kosovo was still under UN administration. The aim of the article is to bring attention to the changing position of international organisations under international law and implications of such development in the areas of asylum and refugee protection.

Příspěvek se věnuje problematice azylu a uprchlictví ve vztahu k mezinárodní správě Kosova. V centru jeho zájmu stojí UNMIK jakožto mise OSN, která disponovala rozsáhlým a ambiciózním mandátem k administrativní správě Kosova, a její role možného poskytovatele ochrany. Článek rozbírá problematiku mezinárodních organizací jako eventuálních poskytovatelů ochrany a analyzuje postavení UNMIK směrem k uprchlíkům navracejícím se do Kosova a osobám, které v Kosovu žádaly o poskytnutí mezinárodní ochrany v letech 1999 až 2009. Pozornost je věnována jak právní úpravě, tak i její praktické aplikaci. Studie na několika příkladech přibližuje, jak se s otázkou postavení mezinárodní organizace jako poskytovatele ochrany vyrovnaly některé z národních soudů členských států EU. Článek si klade za cíl přitáhnout pozornost k proměňující se roli mezinárodních organizací a k dopadům, které má tento vývoj na oblast uprchlického a azylového práva.
