Letter to the Reader — Why We're Asking for Your Support Contribute"To put it simply, Albin Kurti is trying to create a third republic, he has said that publicly. The third republic means; the first republic of Ibrahim Rugova, the second in 2008, the third to change the entire reconfiguration. I understand the third republic as a civic republic and I completely agree with this concept. Kosovo is not multiethnic, we have many defects in the Constitution and I am constantly saying that the Constitution of Kosovo has become a straitjacket for processes. Events are going in that direction, Albin himself has said it and I agree that we are going on a journey where a third republic will be created. I am openly saying and defending this idea and concept for one reason, because Kosovo will become a normal state like all other states," Maloku said on Thursday on KTV's "Konfront".
He added that the current ethnic, political, social, and economic configuration is not in line with the trends in which Kosovo finds itself.
Sociologist Maloku's definition of the situation in Kosovo: Political schizophrenia
Sociologist Fadil Maloku has called the situation in Kosovo political schizophrenia.
Maloku said on KTV's "Konfront" that the term "political schizophrenia" is used when there are polarized, tense economic situations, while problems, topics, and issues related to the existential nature of citizens are marginalized.
Maloku said that for sociologists in Kosovo it is interesting to uncover where citizens find the energy to engage in lynchings, while as a society we are attacked every day in our existence, with price increases.
He said that the team from the sociologists' association has observed an increase in the level of lynching and denigration.
"In developed countries, citizens deal with everyday problems, here we have a different phenomenon, which for us sociologists is interesting to debunk. How is it possible that a society that has existential problems, where every day is attacked with price increases. Where does all the energy come from for people to deal with lynchings and denigrating language," said Maloku.
