Oh Kosovo, Oh Kosovo,
Where art thou , Oh Kosovo,
Are you safe to go to now,
Or are things still dangerous somehow
I wish you Peace and Prosperity
And a successful term for Albin Kurti
After some months of uncertainty Kosovo have elected for a third term their Albanian nationalist Vetvendosje party on the basis that despite previous failed promises of the economy improving , it was finally decided by the voters that the other two parties probably wouldn’t make any better job of it.
It has taken a while , so let’s hope that Kosovo, which is surrounded on all sides by mountainous regions with Serbia to the North and East, North Macedonia to the Southwest, Albania to the Southwest and Montenegro to the West, hopefully can benefit from European and World Banks support which will allow it’s transitional economy to grow.
Their economy could be supported by the minerals that are within the Kosovo soil, but their mining industry is fragmented and although nearly 20% of the population are deemed agricultural workers agriculture accounts for single figure generated income to Kosovo’s budget. Though they make good wine which is mainly exported to Germany.
The success of Albin Kurti’s new term as head of Government depends on his ability to get some of the minority parties to support him. It looks increasingly likely that he will achieve that as stable investment is key to getting the investment that is needed in the infrastructure of the Country.
The people of Kosovo look to him to guide the Country so that they can all benefit from Peace and Prosperity.
Namaste and Thank You for Reading. 🙏
