Hantke considers Kosovo's lack of health insurance a disaster

The director of this centre, Besa Kabash-Ramaj, said partly democracy in the country has failed in some areas due to the lack of active citizens. While, according to her, there is no democracy without active citizens, the KP broadcasts.

There is no democracy without active citizens and democracy in the country has partly failed in some areas because we have not had active citizens. But not because of them. Because a country cannot have active citizens without human security. To be clear when we talk about human security and economic security at work, not public security, injuries at work, but security in terms of how much access to employment”, she said.

She further said that Kosovo will not pass the human security gap will lack active citizens as well as developing democracy. Even the lack of honest politicians will, according to her.

Kabashi Rama said that no research has been made in Kosovo so far on how the citizen of Kosovo feels, and as a result, there is no solution to the problems of the citizens' welfare.

The overall local and international approach in Kosovo after the war has been to find short-term elections (short term solutions), but the bad news has still been that the big problems dealing with the welfare of the citizen of the Republic of Kosovo have not been taken into account by the thought and the way that the citizen feels directly, not indirectly, not from high, but from high down, and as a result there is no solution to problems of much importance to the welfare of the citizen”, Kabashi-Muaj added further.

FES Director in Pristina Frank Huntke said democratisation must resume from institutions to empower the Kosovo population.

According to him, citizens are not interested in the border line, but in a country of labour and health insurance.

We should focus on citizens and their view of security. For them it's not so important what the border line really looks like, maybe for some who live on the border, but it's a political game. It is important for them to have a job, to have health insurance, to have schools where they send their children, and to receive good schooling”, he said.

According to him, people in Kosovo have felt much safer 30 years ago than they do today.

Huntke has expressed extremely surprised how citizens still have no health insurance in Kosovo, and he sees this as a disaster.

The Centre for Research, Documentation and Publication has recommended to Kosovo institutions that, with reparities to implement the standard procedures for bearing responsibilities, the concept of security should be expanded to include human and social security, the future leadership should have a priority of state interest and protection of citizens' interests.

This paper is not scientific work, but was created by the analysis of literature and research that have been done on human security issues in the last 10 years.
