How is a nation able to conduct a dialogue with another nation if it fails to have a domestic one first?
Such political behavior will only lead to building a formal democracy, where ‘democracy’ is what is able to be passed through the Kosovo Assembly.
While dialogue with Serbia is crucial, supporting a dialogue without building the infrastructure of an internal consensus is against the principles of democracy the west has been advocating in Kosovo for all these years.
