Dissatisfied

The National Democratic Institute today sent this Kosovo Public Opinion Research from focus groups convened in December. Since I can’t find it on the NDI website, I am posting it here. NDI characterizes the “general direction” this way:

• Public is demanding action
• Progress on infrastructure but not on issues of concern
• Corruption and nepotism contributing to declining economy, education, and health care
• Unemployment leading to desperation
• People seeking change frustrated at the ballot box

Respondents frequently express dissatisfaction with the current circumstances and the way things have progressed– or not progressed – over 15 years. The three ‘top of mind’ issues affecting their mood are high unemployment, corruption and nepotism and similar ‘fair shake’ issues, and what they view as an unsustainable and under-performing economy.

Worth reading the whole thing, for those who take an interest in the world’s second-newest sovereign state.
