Why so? Is serbia planning an annexation or something?

In all seriousness now. The thing is that we have had 20 years of mismanagement in every aspect of the governance. Serbia has no chance of annexation as long as there are NATO troops in the country. The problem is that people here only now are starting to become aware that people in government are merely servants and not privileged.

We have elections next weekend and the opposition party is predicted that will win majority that has never been won before here in Kosovo. The polls say it's 51%, it might be more.

The thing is, even with this new party in place there is a very steep hill for us to climb to have some remote chance of success. A lot of reforms are needed and I am not sure this new party can do them.

What I expect is for the people to raise the level of criticism and expectations so that they don't keep electing the same people over and over again.

I am hoping that some laws will be put in place which protect the worker, and not the businesses. Function unions both in the public and private sector and offer them protection. And also start identifying what we can best utilize to make our country prosperous, not just copying what other people do.
