	abstract = {Kosovo, as a~peripheral country in the context of the EU integration process, remains a~potential candidate country with one of the most isolated populations in the Western Balkan region. The citizens of Kosovo are still unable to travel to EU coun-tries without a~visa. Unfortunately, this process has been a~condition with Kosovo--Serbia dialogue, facilitated by the EU. This article assesses the influence of both processes, from the internal and external perspective, on the contestation of the EU{\textquoteright}s actress among different actors in Kosovo {\textendash} political elites, experts, and citizens. An analysis of existing relevant research, statistical data of national and interna-tional organizations, and above thirty media articles published between 2015 and 2023, shows a~decline in Kosovo citizens{\textquoteright} trust in the EU from 89\% in 2015 to 73\% in 2022, and lately a~substantial drop with only 42\%.},
