Kosovo is heading towards the June 7 elections. In this crucial period for the country's future, attention is not only on the election result, but also on how political parties will act after the elections.
American professor and foreign policy expert, David Phillips, in a statement for Front Online, emphasizes that democracy is not measured only by the voting process, but also by the ability of political leaders to compromise, cooperate, and form stable institutions in the interest of citizens.
According to him, the real test for Kosovo will begin right after the elections, when political entities must demonstrate maturity and state responsibility.
"Democracy is about mutual accommodation. Voters may seek victory at the ballot box, but when it comes to forming a government, political parties must put aside narrow interests in service of the common good," he declared.
According to American professor David Phillips, the formation of stable institutions will be the main challenge after the June 7 elections.
He said that compromise and political sacrifice are necessary elements for the democratic functioning of the state.
"This requires political maturity and sacrifice," said Phillips, emphasizing that state interests must come before party interests.
Phillips stated that international partners and donors are closely following political developments in Kosovo before and after the elections.
"Donors and security partners want Kosovo's political elites to show wisdom in taking steps to advance society," he said.
The professor estimates that the main challenge for Kosovo will not only be holding the elections, but the period that follows.
"The important test for Kosovo will come after the elections," he declared, alluding to the process of forming a government and creating functional institutions.
