Moral Resignment, Action Almost No Existing in Kosovo Policy

Resigning as an act of moral responsibility is a very rare practice in Kosovo politics. Top state officials have not rarely been subject to relatives or even judicial processes, but have continued working by not offering to resign.

In recent years, several initiatives for meeting-up the Penal Code have also been undertaken, under which officials under investigation or close to corrupts would not be allowed to work in public office, but this has not been implemented in practice.

Sociologist Ardian Gola estimates that Kosovo's weak political morality, which, according to him, is the result of understanding power as privilege and not responsibility, also testifies to the high level of intellectual and ideological poverty.

The post-war political culture in Kosovo generally testifies to a deep intellectual and ideological poverty, argumentative, etc.”, he says.

According to him, “part of this cultural poverty in politics is also the weak political morality and what has now been cultivated and how long in Kosovo, the culture of impunity”.

The moment the exercise of power is not understood as a public responsibility for what it does, what you say, then normally that the resignation as a moral act and not only has not worked”, he says.

Gola thinks that in Kosovo it needs to change the thinking and report that is built with power, as a society and as a leadership so that political morality can rise to that extent that leadership and politicians are responsible for the jobs and actions they do. / REL/
