Ministrstvo za izobraževanje, znanost in šport Republike Slovenije in Ministrstvo za izobraževanje, znanost in tehnologijo Republike Kosovo, v nadaljnjem besedilu ''pogodbenika'', sta se v želji, da se razvija in poglablja sodelovanje na področju izobraževanja med Republiko Slovenijo in Republiko Kosovo, v prepričanju, da bo tako sodelovanje pripomoglo k boljšemu razumevanju in krepitvi vsestranskih odnosov med državama, na podlagi 7. člena Sporazuma med Vlado Republike Slovenije in Vlado Republike Kosovo o sodelovanju na področju kulture, izobraževanja in znanosti, ki je bil podpisan 15. oktobra 2010 v Ljubljani in je veljaven, dogovorili:

Pogodbenika v skladu s cilji tega protokola razvijata medsebojno sodelovanje na področju osnovnega, srednjega in terciarnega izobraževanja ter zaradi tega podpirata neposredno sodelovanje in stike med izobraževalnimi zavodi.

Učenci, državljani države enega od pogodbenikov, ki živijo na ozemlju države drugega pogodbenika, imajo pravico obiskovati osnovno šolo in se pripravljati nanjo pod enakimi pogoji kot državljani države, na ozemlju katere živijo. Pogodbenika soglašata, da se njuni državljani v državi drugega pogodbenika vpisujejo v sekundarno izobraževanje po notranji zakonodaji tega pogodbenika. Pogodbenika soglašata, da za študente, državljane drugega pogodbenika, glede plačila šolnine za terciarno izobraževanje veljajo enaka merila kot za domače študente. Glede študija in urejanja drugih zadev v terciarnem izobraževanju se uporabljajo načela avtonomije zavodov. Pogodbenika podpirata uvedbo skupnih podiplomskih študijev med zainteresiranimi visokošolskimi zavodi na področjih, ki so obojestransko zanimiva. Zagotovita vso potrebno pomoč za izpolnitev potrebnih pogojev za začetek skupnih študijev v skladu s svojo notranjo zakonodajo.

Pogodbenika si letno izmenjata do osemnajst

(18)mesečnih štipendij za študijsko izpopolnjevanje na visokošolskih zavodih v posamičnem trajanju 3 do 6 mesecev za kandidate do starosti 26 let. Štipendisti imajo zagotovljeno bivanje in druge subvencije ter mesečno štipendijo v znesku, določenem z notranjo zakonodajo vsakega pogodbenika. O strukturi in višini štipendij ter drugih pogojih se pogodbenika obveščata letno.

Pogodbenika soglašata, da najpozneje do konca junija vsako leto obvestita drugega pogodbenika o številu študentov drugega pogodbenika, ki so se vpisali v preteklem študijskem letu.

Pogodbenika krepita medsebojno sodelovanje na področju izobraževanja zlasti zaradi izmenjave izkušenj pri reformi izobraževalnega sistema kot dela procesa stabilizacije in pridruževanja Evropski uniji ter s tem namenom neposredno ali v okviru večstranskih programov sodelujeta pri različnih projektih, ki so obojestransko zanimivi. Pogodbenika še posebej podpirata medsebojno sodelovanje na področju visokega šolstva v okviru večstranskih programov Evropske unije in regionalnega programa CEEPUS.

Pogodbenika spodbujata neposredno sodelovanje zainteresiranih organizacij in posameznikov znotraj večstranskih organizacij in mrež na področju izobraževanja.

Pogodbenika spodbujata poučevanje jezika in spoznavanje književnosti druge države. Pogodbenika podpirata razvoj in napredek poučevanja maternega jezika in kulture za otroke, pripadnike slovenske skupnosti v Republiki Kosovo oziroma pripadnike kosovske skupnosti v Republiki Sloveniji.

Pogodbenika podpirata uvajanje informacijsko-komunikacijskih tehnologij v izobraževalne sisteme in izmenjavo dobrih praks.

Zaradi spremljanja izvajanja protokola sta pogodbenika sklenila ustanoviti skupni odbor, sestavljen iz enakega števila predstavnikov obeh pogodbenikov. Sestanki skupnega odbora potekajo po potrebi na zaprosilo enega od pogodbenikov, in sicer izmenoma v Republiki Sloveniji in Republiki Kosovo.

Vse oblike sodelovanja potekajo v skladu z notranjo zakonodajo pogodbenikov.

Pogodbenika lahko kadar koli predlagata spremembe tega protokola. Taki predlogi sprememb se drugemu pogodbeniku sporočajo po diplomatski poti. Spremembe začnejo veljati s prejemom pisnega soglasja drugega pogodbenika k predlaganim spremembam po diplomatski poti.

Pogodbenika vsa morebitna druga odprta vprašanja, ki so v njuni pristojnosti, rešujeta sporazumno po diplomatski poti.

Pogodbenika protokol začasno uporabljata z dnem podpisa. Veljati začne z dnem prejema zadnjega uradnega pisnega obvestila po diplomatski poti o dokončanju notranjih postopkov pogodbenikov, potrebnih za začetek veljavnosti tega protokola. Protokol se uporablja pet študijskih let po začetku veljavnosti. Protokol se samodejno podaljšuje za nadaljnja petletna obdobja, razen če kateri od pogodbenikov šest mesecev prej pisno ne sporoči svoje namere, da ga odpoveduje. Protokol velja največ do konca študijskega leta, v katerem Republika Kosovo postane polnopravna članica Evropske unije. Prenehanje tega protokola ne vpliva na programe in projekte, ki so bili začeti po tem protokolu, tako da se ti nadaljujejo, dokler niso končani, razen če ni dogovorjeno drugače. Pogodbenika si prizadevata sporazumno rešiti vse spore glede razlage ali izvajanja tega protokola. V potrditev tega sta podpisana, ki sta bila pravilno pooblaščena, podpisala ta protokol. Sklenjeno v Ljubljani 28. oktobra 2015 v dveh izvirnikih v angleškem jeziku.

Za izvajanje protokola skrbi ministrstvo, pristojno za izobraževanje.
