Kosovo: Too Much Democracy?

About this episode

This episode discusses the political challenges and dynamics surrounding Kosovo's repeated elections and the implications for its democracy.

If you feel like Kosovo just had an election… you’re not wrong. This week, Alex and Kaleigh are breaking down why Kosovo is heading back to the polls (again) after parliament failed (repeatedly) to elect a president. Think: boycotts, constitutional loopholes, and a political system that might be a little too easy to break. From the dominance of Albin Kurti’s party to the political influence of Vjosa Osmani to the role of Kosovo’s Serb minority, this episode unpacks the internal and external pressures shaping the vote. Also: UN funding crises, global displacement, and why immigration attitudes don’t always make sense. Don’t forget to subscribe and share any of your democracy queries with us!
