The paper’s deputy editor-in-chief, Lavdim Hamidi, writes that if corruption in Kosovo were to be fought at its roots, officials that are expected to form the government today would have to fight themselves. Although it seems the new government will not be led by Hashim Thaci, his Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) will continue to have a major role in the government. The police and prosecution would have to be free of influence and launch investigations into alleged corruption involving Thaci and his family members. At the same time, leader of Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), Isa Mustafa, who has 70 pending criminal cases, should not be amnestied even if he becomes new prime minister of Kosovo. Investigations, according to Hamidi, would also have to stretch into possible cases of corruption involving ministers and other senior officials as no one should be above the law. Hamidi says that Kosovo does not lack legal infrastructure to investigate and prosecute cases of corruption but it does lack political will for such an undertaking and for as long as the same politicians continue to be in power, he thinks it is very unlikely corruption will be uprooted.
