Serbian journalist: Kosovo and Serbia to enter the EU, but there remain societies scattered by populism

To Serbian journalist and political commentator, Zoran Ostojic, populism is leaving societies in the Western Balkans in vicious circles.

These comments, he made in the ongoing public debate in Pristina, about the dangers that populism brings to politics.

We're unfortunately living in a time when populism dominates because it brings votes.

Not only share our societies, us and those patriots, but also the opposite brings you the possibility of compromise.

So, I think populism is the lack of compromise after dialogue.

We're going to live or live in that society, live or go with that first dilemma, many walk away, like getting out of it.

In just two ways, pressure from the inside of the mouse populist gets attention and this conference is one way, and pressure from the outside.

I am sure that both Kosovo and Serbia will enter the European Union, but here will remain scattered societies.

How do you tell your leaders, as I call this period, the problem is that when those in power start in the direction of national populism and those who have to come to power, so the opposition, they're going to go that way, that's the vicious circle, but where we should try to pressure and the institutions that have left to make that pressure to increase that”, he said./Periscopi
