The state apparatus represents one of the fundamental elements of the development of contemporary society. While the right and law represents a basic understanding of the existence of the state power that performs in order to preserve a balance between the action which is accepted by society and other behaviors that by law are prohibited. The state actions principally are based on the rule of law, namely the legal system accepted or elected by people. Studying different legal systems, it shows that there are similarities more than the differences between them. Despite very different legal cultures, processing methods and institutions, different legal systems exhibit convergence in the treatment of different legal issues. As a result of these processes, many of the differences between common law and civil law now look more like nuances rather than as major differences. The differences are mostly pronounced in the styles of using legal argument, methodology, content and legal norms etc. Various legal systems, using different tools, aimed at the same purpose, and similar results are often taken from different justifications. Often it happens in practice that, despite the use of diverse tools and methods, they arrive at the same solutions or similar ones and it certainly that should not be surprising. So it can rightly be concluded that despite many changes, legal systems aim at achieving the same objective. While generally the target of the state is always and in any system the implementation of norms and rules set in advance, what the contemporary world tends to be considered as respect for the rule of law. In general, the objective of the state authorities in every system is the implementation of the norms and rules set in advance, that concept in the contemporary world tends to be considered as respect for the rule of law. Since Kosovo was part of the former Yugoslav federation and practically until the end of the war of 1999, in the absence of state sovereignty and subjectivity, people of Kosovo were not in a position to choose, like other sovereign nations which legal system will be applied on their lives. Without the will of the citizens, in Kosovo was applied a type of Continental legal system, with certain specific elements that were mostly common in other countries of former Eastern European Communist bloc. In the first years after liberation, until new legislation was passed through the legislative system, it was continued with the older system, through some minor changes. While at a later stage after the adoption of the new legislation, was introduced a large scale reform to the exciting system through the application of the combination of elements of Anglo-Saxon system, this reform which is to this day is in process as well.
We live in the era of knowledge, and the ability to apply effectively knowledge and necessary skills, is a cornerstone of success for the individuals in relation to the challenges that they face. Where is put in doubt the power of learning and knowledge, there will reign darkness of ignorance. Lack of knowledge and skills is a disadvantage that prevents personal and career development as well as the professional advancement. Concept of lifelong learning is a dynamic system that enables integration in the labor market through the knowledge that an individual can achieve. This automatically means raising the level of academic and professional skills. The concept aims at acquiring knowledge for personal or professional reasons, by encouraging the system of ongoing, voluntary and self-motivated learning. The system as such influences: personal development, social inclusion, active citizenship, enables knowledge competition and increases employment opportunities. Competition in the knowledge and experience increase the quality and eminence. This concept enables the learning for all, and can be followed throughout life and in a variety of different situations. Learning can be seen as something that happens and its application can be included at all social strata regardless of age or gender. All these facts stated above have an effect in the lives of individuals who in most of the cases because of unawareness, inability to find a job because they are not qualified or been unable to engage actively in economic trends, but also loss of hope for the future, they engage in various forms of criminality in order to gain material benefits. This is also an argument more why this concept in the European Union, is an integral part of the policy of economic and social development which also serves as an instrument for ensuring social cohesion and development. But also is used as very important tool, indirectly to prevent individuals from involving in criminal activities as well as assisting law enforcement officers in education and training. Kosovar reality in this respect still leaves much to be desired. Learning in Kosovo is concentrated mainly in theoretical transfer of knowledge from teacher to the students and there are no proper mechanisms to convince that knowledge improved with appropriate skills and competencies will help individuals to be successful in implementation of knowledge earned. Formal system of vocational education and training is based on the provision of education and vocational training at elementary school and a continual professional training at institutions (training centers and employment centers). Universities mainly offer traditional academic lessons as well. The existing situation has a history of the past when Kosovars for ten years have held a parallel system of education. Despite the fact that the level and quality of service was not at satisfactory level, this period shows a reaction to restrictions imposed. Also this reaction through parallel system of education has manifested the Kosovar commit...
