The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

The EU’s role in Kosovo’s upcoming elections highlights its unwavering commitment to democracy and stability. By deploying its observation mission, the EU will ensure a transparent, inclusive, and credible electoral process. This effort supports Kosovo’s democratic development, empowering its citizens to make informed choices and reinforcing the EU’s vision for a peaceful, prosperous Balkans.

Establishment-critical narrative

The West's handling of Kosovo undermines peace and stability in the country. Despite agreements meant to foster coexistence, the region continues to escalate tensions with Serbia, attacking Serbian institutions and undermining Serbs' rights in Kosovo. The international community's failure to condemn these provocations prioritizes political agendas over human rights, risking further division in the region.
