The last few weeks have seen a veritable rush of journalists, analysts and civil society activists joining political parties in Kosovo, a month before the snap elections are due to take place.

The latest journalist to make the transfer into politics in the country is renowned journalist and chief of Kosovo’s Radio Free Europe service, Arber Vllahiu. He joined Ramush Haradinaj’s Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, AAK.

“I see AAK as the right [way to] address the development of the country. I consider it our common path, to move towards this development,” said Vllahiu, who also served as an adviser to former President Atifete Jahjaga between 2011 and 2016.
