Who can deny the impressive achievements made by Kosovo in less than a decade of independence? They include the consolidation of its democratic institutions, good governance, exemplary multi-ethnic and interreligious coexistence and evident progress in the Euro-Atlantic integration process. Every credible report on the current situation in the Western Balkans would undoubtedly lead to the same conclusion — today the Western Balkans is far better off than it was three or five years ago, let alone 10. Kosovo’s independence has not unleashed any dark forces. On the contrary, it has brought stability to the entire region.
