An early proposal was to increase the representation of women in positions of leadership and governance. Dr. Kouchner espoused and lobbied for this goal with local political and civic leaders. Six of the 33 seats currently filled on the Kosovo Transitional Council are now occupied by women. While Dr. Kouchner acknowledges that these percentages are not adequate, he is urging women's groups to take an active part in promoting women candidates for the upcoming municipal elections. However, the President of the Kosovo Bar Association is a woman, M. Lirije Osmani.
Media are welcome to attend the meeting.
