Near Future

Both Disinvestment and Privatization process in Public Sector Banks initiated by the then NDA Government came to an end soon after UPA Government took over. The Atal Bihari Vajpayee government had proposed to reduce government holding in state-run banks to 33% but the amendment could not be passed in Parliament as Congress, which was the main Opposition party, blocked the move. Later on Congress party with other partners came to power and even The Ministry of Disinvestment was closed .The recommendations of Disinvestment Commission could not be implemented. For last one decade disinvestment process came to a grinding halt, however, now again there are possibilities that Public Sector Banks may initiate the process again. Privatization process may seem to be a remote possibility at present, however, Disinvestment is on agenda of present government. The Government is now set to reduce shareholding to less than 52% while maintaining ownership but selling additional shares which will infuse more capital to fulfil capital adequacy norms as per Basel III. There are a number of challenges to this process and it is necessary to expedite the process. It is assumed that disinvestment process will make public sector banks more accountable and also efficiency may improve, ultimately pave way for privatization in near future.

The imposition of a 10% defensive measure by the Kosovo Government, pursuant to Decision No. 01/74 dated 06.11.2018, for product imported from Serbia and Bosnia Herzegovina, had a big impact on the brands trademarks of Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.On 21.12.2018, the Government of Kosovo raised the tax rate from 10% to 100% as well as for the international brands it produces in these countries. Only a few of these international brands had been deployed.On December 28, 2019, the Kosovo Government also took the decision to ban all non-produced trademarks produced in Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, which entered into force on 01.01.2019. So to supplement and amend the decision No. 01/76 dated 21.11.2018 was passed, from which paragraph 2 of the basic decision was removed.The reason why the government of Kosovo took the decision for 100% tax was the wartime campaign for denying the state and the fights against Kosovo for the membership in Interpol.This tax was decided without any analysis, benefiting only the intersects of different groups. Where is the lack of coordination between MTI-Customs, Finance Ministry, Government of Kosovo (Prime Minister).There were statements against this matter for the imposition of this tax. Making this decision had positive effects on politics, but had far greater impact on the economy.The pressure to remove the tax from the international community fell when the government decision banned the import of international trademarkThe reasons why international brands were deployed in Serbia, and none of them in Kosovo was because there was much greater institutional support, while in Kosovo there was a deficiency in the privatization process.

The education of researchers in Sweden is regulated by a nationwide reform implemented in 1969, which intended to limit doctoral programs to 4 years without diminishing quality. In an audit performed by the government in 1996, however, it was concluded that the reform had failed. Some 80% of the doctoral students admitted had dropped out, and only 1% finished their PhD degree within the stipulated 4 years. In an attempt to determine the causes of this situation, we singled out a social-science department at a major Swedish university and interviewed those doctoral students who had dropped out of the program. This department was found to be representative of the nationwide figures found in the audit. The students interviewed had all completed at least 50% of their PhD studies and had declared themselves as dropouts from this department. We conclude that the entire research education was characterized by a laissez-faire attitude where supervisors were nominated but abdicated. To correct this situation, we suggest that a learning alliance should be established between the supervisor and the student. At the core of the learning alliance is the notion of mutually forming a platform form which work can emerge in common collaboration. The learning alliance implies a contract for work, stating its goals, the tasks to reach these goals, and the interpersonal bonding needed to give force and endurance to the endeavor. Constant scrutiny of this contract and a mutual concern for the learning alliance alone can contribute to its strength.
