Kosovo’s current crisis is a result of local power struggles and bungled foreign interference – and until people realize that, the political system will remain damaged.
Since the snap parliamentary election in June, Kosovo has been struggling to constitute its state institutions. Parliament only kicked off its constitutive session last week. But it was unable to complete it as no majority could be formed to vote for a speaker and a presidium.
At first glance, this problem might be fixed easily through coalition building. However, complications soon emerge. Kosovo’s real problems, I believe, are a result of a combination of power struggles and international intervention. Together, they are damaging Kosovo’s political system and the country’s emerging public sphere.
