In Kosovo, there are kidnappings of democracy

So stated during an interview for the newspaper “Voice” Africa Krasniqi from the Institute of Political Studies in Tirana, adding that a serious country, a serious policy and a serious political elite act differently: They all go to parliament, live the new parliament, confirm the mandates and then start political debate on the possible parliamentary majority.

Krasniqi has said that Kosovo does not need a minority government, as according to him, the minority coalition -- whatever it is -- has the legitimate right to create the executive, but, as he says, government making and exercise of government are two things not always the same.

I don't think that a simple majority coalition will be functional enough to get the reforms Kosovo needs. The reforms require a “political coalition”, a national pact between the majority and the opposition emerging from the election. The pact does not necessarily require co-governance, but creates the foundations for a more functional state and democracy, so it benefits all, including majority and opposition”, Krasniqi has said, adding that it is not the first time that specific parties in Kosovo prefer political dependence and compromise with Serb and minority minorities rather than political compromises among Albanian factors themselves.

He has even recommended to President Thaci that he be more active in the process of life of post-election institutions and to have greater neutrality in relation to his former political province. /Sound/
