Political analyst Faton Mehmeti says that the dysfunctional institutions in Kosovo are causing significant consequences in politics, the economy and international relations. According to him, delays in establishing the institutions are harming the country’s position and holding back its development.

“The failure to form the institutions is having consequences in many areas, particularly politically. Kosovo is facing setbacks in securing new recognitions, representation in international forums and inclusion in new European initiatives,” Mehmeti told ‘Bota sot’.
He stressed that the lack of a complete institutional structure also affects how Kosovo is perceived by states that have not yet recognized its independence.
“In the eyes of countries that must decide whether to recognize Kosovo, our country gives the impression of being insecure, unstable and politically immature. This reduces the possibility of securing new recognitions, which Kosovo needs,” the political analyst said.
According to Mehmeti, the consequences are particularly serious for the economy, as the lack of functioning institutions limits Kosovo’s ability to benefit from international support and cooperation.
“The economic situation is even more problematic, as European Union funds cannot be secured at the level Kosovo needs. Moreover, the country is unable to negotiate important trade agreements with the states with which it needs to cooperate,” he said.
The analyst emphasized that delays in forming the institutions directly affect investments and projects related to the country’s development.
“The financing of economic development, investments and many other processes depend on the regular functioning of the institutions. Every delay in establishing them increases the damage Kosovo suffers politically, economically and internationally,” Faton Mehmeti concluded.
