Özet:

 

It has become apparent that the interim administration in Kosovo has  chosen to consolidate a democratic regime with its well-known, classical  institutions. What makes this a problem, is the fact that such a democratic regime  in Kosovo, based on the will of the majority, may generate new epicentres of  conflict between communities which have long been engaged in hostilities.  Possibly, democracy may survive in such a deeply divided society with the  introduction of a political model, which relies upon sharing political power between  the communities involved. However, a clear cut power-sharing or a consociational  model, which contains political procedures such as an ethnic veto, is not a remedy,  since it may deepen the Albanian recalcitrance and again exasperate ethnic conflict.  In those circumstances, the call by the Turkish community for the restoration of its  former constitutional status, has not been heeded by the UNMIK authorities. Yet,  despite its attitude, which Turks find disturbing, and its constant refusal to accept  changes that will amend their political status, UNMIK has succeeded in providing  them with sound political procedures at municipal level by introducing some  tolerable institutions of ethnic veto, which will enable them to avoid the  encroachments of a foreign culture.
