Including also the last one, so far the Kosovo Government has approved 3 such plans. The first work plan dates back to 2009. The Kosovo Government has made it a practice since that year to process this document at the beginning of each year in parallel to those like the: Legislative Strategy, European Integration Action Plan, etc. Additionally, as part of this, the Government has indicated that an assessment will be made every 3 months on the level of implementation of this plan. However, such an assessment was not done for the Work Plan of 2009 and that of 2010. It remains to be seen if the opposite will happen this year.
