Talk:Atifete Jahjaga

NPOV
In general, the fact that everything in this article is positive and that it reads like a badly written piece of campaign propaganda should by itself raise serious questions about its neutrality, or lack thereof. But there are also more specific grounds for complaint throughout the article. Here are a few. The article makes no mention of the highly controversial circumstances of Jahjaga's election, in particular, the widely reported role of the U.S. Ambassador in pressuring Parliament members to vote for her. See, e.g., http://www.economist.com/blogs/easternapproaches/2011/04/kosovos_new_president. Also, in its blatant effort to paint all of Jahjaga's actions in the best possible light, the article ignores common criticisms of her as a weak president who did not have the courage to make the hard choices that her country needed her to make. See, e.g., http://prishtinainsight.com/president-not-strike-back-mag/. Furthermore, numerous controversial statements are not backed up by sources -- not even by positive ones. For example, the article states: "Jahjaga played a crucial role in resolving the crisis" following the 2014 election. No evidence is provided for this claim, and indeed it is false. In fact, many people claim that Jahjaga actually did the opposite, that she PROLONGED the crisis by illegally referring the question to the Constitutional Court, which then ruled against the majority coalition, VLAN, in favor of the PDK, a party that lacked the necessary majority to form a government because no other party would join it. See http://archive.kosovotwopointzero.com/en/article/1276/an-institutional-minuet. Of course, all of these claims are controversial. But the point is that BOTH sides of these controversies should be aired. The article gives only the positive side, which helps no one -- no one, that is, except for Jahjaga herself, and the political hack who wrote this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mmt1890 (talk • contribs) 08:31, 21 February 2017 (UTC)


 * I totally agree, and I'm unhappy that nobody has done anything about this in six years. Languagehat (talk) 15:32, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

Nataša Mićić
"She is also the first female head of state in modern Balkans."

This sentence is not true. Nataša Mićić was head of state in modern Balkans.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 13:02, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Mićić wasn't a head of state. Therequiembellishere (talk) 23:52, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

Natasa Micic was acting head of state so Jahjaga is certainly not the first.

At the time of Bosnia declaring its independence Biljana Plavsic was one of 7 equal co-presidents of Bosnia-Herzegovina, leaving this post to become Vice-President and later President of the Serb Republic. Also Head of State is very debatable in Western context- in Kosovo's structure it is rather Prime-minister than President.


 * Acting Head is not the same as Head of State. --alchaemia (talk) 14:15, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

Jahjaha's term not shortened (july 2012)
On Kosovan presidential election, 2016 I read:


 * At first, they were planned to be held in 2013 following constitutional changes expected to be passed after the compromise reached after the indirect 2011 presidential elections. However, on 6 July 2012, the Constitutional Court ruled that the presidential term could not be cut short in this way.

Where can I find that ruling? I do not doubt its existence but I cannot find it on the Court's website. Is the special origin of the case (Freedom House, Nations in Transit, 2013 calls it a ruling triggered by 'a request for clarifcation from the government') the reason I cannot find it on the Court's website?Bancki (talk) 12:26, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
