Abstract

This paper describes and analyzes the process of neoliberal privatization in Kosovë, mainly focusing on the privatization of Kosovo Energy Distribution and Supply (KEDS) and the attempt to privatize Post and Telecommunications of Kosovo (PTK). The methodology used to obtain the results includes both primary and secondary data collection. Initially, we examine privatization as a concept and neoliberalism as an ideology that promotes privatization. To contextualize how neoliberal privatization has worked, we look at a brief history of privatization in Kosovë.. We come to the conclusion then that what was promised before privatization was not accomplished once privatization took place, especially in the case of KEDS. Also, the attempt to private PTK depicts both the logic of neoliberal ideology and corruption.
