After the war in Kosovo and the arrival of the International Mission - UNMIK based on UNSC Resolution 1244, his mission and all other international mechanisms, including the OSCE, were substantially committed to organizing the Kosovar society from the point of view of the beginning of the functioning of civic and institutional life, after 1999. Kosovo did not have any established institutions that would facilitate normal development of life in Kosovo.
The population of Kosovo was scattered around the world, and citizens of Kosovo were progressively returning to Kosovo, the role of the UN Mission was more or less challenging, the functional organization of UNMIK was experienced and UNMIK was assisted by the OSCE, the Council of Europe. In the absence of institutional quorum, the temporary government of Kosovo had appointed temporary mayors of the municipalities in Kosovo. This government was transformed in December 1999, UNMIK established the temporary PISG departments, the political parties had appointed representatives in these departments (PDK, LDK, LBD) up to the organization of elections at both levels.
