High Share

Population statistics for Kosovo show an unusually high share of male deaths (SMD) among all deaths. Women have a very low status in traditional parts of Kosovo – a direct consequence of the so-called Kanun of Lekë Dukagjini. This set of behavioural rules, practiced in Northern Albania and Kosovo, is strongly associated with a patriarchal culture. According to the code, a woman cannot own immovable property. Thus, to register the death of a family member at the office for civil registration is less urgent for women than for men. We assume that female deaths are under-registered. (i) A high SMD is more prevalent among the population with primary education, compared to secondary or tertiary education. (ii) More women aged 65+ receive the basic pension than there are resident women in that age group. (iii) Islamic societies report SMDs in 2017–2019 that are markedly lower than SMDs from vital registration. Registration of a death at the Islamic society is required before the funeral can take place. Other factors could also explain the high SMD: under-registration of deaths among Serbs in Kosovo, violent deaths and smoking among men, and bad physical and mental health among veterans of the war of 1999.

For the past 16 years, a town Sremska Mitrovica was a host city for European, Asian, South American and African youth. Besides its historical importance, this town on the Sava river could also be considered as the promoter of culture, tradition and folklore of its guests. Each year, the artistic stylization of folklore stage is accompanied by about 20000 visitors during the four festival nights. In 2015, "Srem Folk Fest" was added to the calendar of events of the International Council of Organizations of Folklore Festivals and Folk Arts (CIOFF). The Festival is also recognized by the Serbian National Commission for UNESCO as the keeper of the intangible cultural heritage.
