Columnist Lumir Abdixhiku analyses the work of the Kosovo government over the 100-day period and notes that one of the major shortcomings this government has relates to the way it was formed, which was unnatural and artificial. Abdixhiku considers that in order to make up for the bad start, the new government should have offered more energy, positivism, change and, above all, more hope. While there may be some who would argue that hope and energy can still be created in the coming period, the government’s start was so difficult, what with all the protests and strikes, that hope and energy are very unlikely. In addition, the new government inherited quite a large governing mechanism and instead of reducing it and thus cutting down costs, the new leadership chose to increase it even more. In all this, the new government approached the public communication in the worst possible way, adds Abdixhiku. By ignoring or not knowing the importance of public relations, the government either entered a conflict with anyone who did not share its views, remained silent on certain issues or, in worst cases, took on a completely wrong view on sensitive matters. The plus side of the new government is that no other before it has had such a large number of economy experts and this was reflected in the government plan which, unfortunately, was only presented in the media and not the Assembly. Another good signal is the government’s recent criticism of appointments in the Kosovo Post and Telecom (PTK) and public broadcaster (RTK) which it considered to be politically motivated.
