The Democracy for Development Institute has discussed the findings over the ideologies of the main parties in Kosovo where we launched our latest publication.

The study researched the positions of main ideological profiles in the context of several western democracies. A custom-tailored questionnaire was designed and used to interview 160 senior party officials of the four main parties. Each answer corresponds to a numerical score, and the findings are presented in a plot graph. We mapped the distribution of individual beliefs within each party, and took their collective distribution as a realistic indicator where the party potentially stands.

The findings presented in this report enable a better understanding of the level of like-mindedness, potentially encourage parties to develop policy positions and influence a dose of ‘realignment’. As such, this paper assesses the magnitude of the required transformation that each party is to undergo.
