Promoting Political Ethics in the Balkans, One Conversation at a Time
Countries in the Balkans are struggling to solidify their democracies. Many issues are at play, like corruption, political polarization, and ethnic conflict, but cutting across them is the quintessential need
for responsible, accountable, and inclusive politics--democratic leadership in other words. And while it may seem improbable, political parties in the Balkans are changing the way they operate, from handling
public finance to diversifying their candidate pools to coming up with policies that respond to pressing concerns, like jobs, the environment, emigration, gender equality, human rights, and of course the Covid-19
epidemic.
