How countries and debate on “develop Sunny Hill”

The government of the Republic of Albania, coming to power in 2013, has already made public through actions, not necessarily words, its model for the country's development. Under this model, the government, through the many conveniences being pardoned to a close group of local entrepreneurs, will turn the country into a tourist paradise. It is again the government that will conduct promoting this paradise through the prime minister's continued presence in national and international media. In the development of this process, concepts such as legal equality, equal rights, property rights, legal processes, independent institutions, are annoying, unnecessary, and prohibit the great progress the Government is designing for the future of the country. What sums up all these ideas is the main principle that Government, or simply said the prime minister and only he, is responsible and has the potential to develop the country. The contribution of ordinary people to the process is considered insignificant.

To protect this model, a number of public arguments have long been engaged, along with media figures that have mentioned and distributed them for years. According to these arguments, the sources of funding behind the construction explosion in the country are insignificant. Inhaling funds, even of criminal origin, is an important step toward developing a country. Government commitment to adopt and then pardon the country's most important lands is justified, as ordinary people do not have enough capital to develop them. Articles in international media, even when they adorn Albanian reality, should not be rejected, as important investors are being absorbed by them.

This pattern of developing a country is neither rare nor casual. In fact, it is the most common model in human history. Absolute monarchies and feudal regimes, which have governed the world for most of history, have exercised the same rights, claiming that a country's development comes only through its directors. It is a model that is still protected by international institutions, or aid agencies, which cooperate with the governments of the respective countries, but not with the societies of the countries that need to help.

It is also a completely wrong model and left behind by the economic history of the last 200 years! His results in Albania today are clear. Not only has the country not absorbed significant foreign investment over the years, but a number of important international companies have left it. per capita revenues rank Albania still among the last countries of the continent. Nearly every international report calls the country inappropriate to invest or do business.

Thanks to the suffering and efforts of some societies and the hard work of historical researchers and the economy that have documented them, mankind today has a clearer idea of the reasons for long - term and sustainable economic development. The developed societies of the world today have not reached that level, thanks to the unspoiled work of a rare, repeated leader. Rather, developed countries are the ones where political leaders are replaced with much greater frequency compared to poor countries. The centuries - old efforts of these societies have led to the right to property and equality before the law as sacred, invulnerable concepts. Developing projects stop for years and decades, or even are suspended, normally by various courts, whenever these rights are affected by even the simplest citizen of the country. Above all, statistics show that most employment, innovation, development is performed by small companies, which more than anyone, flourish when economic rights and equality before the law are respected, not when they are violated to favour companies or individuals, whether famous or known.

It is still early to say whether Kosovo will follow the Albanian model, or the model of developed countries. The signs of these years make you believe that power centralised around a close group of individuals will be difficult to realise in Kosovo, to the extent that has happened in Albania, yet the journey is still long. What can be said with great certainty is that the country's future will not be determined by giving or not a concessional contract for exclusive use of 17 hectares of public land for 99 years.

This concessional contract resembles the model applied in Albania, which has produced neither development nor image improvement nor increased public investment. In its refusal, Kosovo has rejected nothing of its future development, but has helped us to understand how different the institutional, political and economic roads are taking two Albanian states in the Balkans. /Opinion by Monitor. al
