A FEW weeks ago, in a burger bar in Kosovo’s capital Pristina, a man heard me say I was from Scotland and struck up a conversation. He had lived in the Sighthill area of Glasgow for some years, came home after the Kosovo war ended in 1999 and now worked in insurance. But Kosovo’s economy and politics were so dire that he was considering moving back to Glasgow to work in nightclubs.
He is far from the only Kosovar to think that way. Once hailed as a success story of Western foreign policy, Kosovo today is struggling. Its progress is blocked by both domestic and international politics.
