Accountability and transparency

The initial results from the PPTI measurement for 2021 confirm the assumption that there is a strong pattern of similarities between the political parties in the Western Balkans.

In an exceedingly uncertain policy environment, national parliaments and governments face 
numerous challenges. Technological innovation of economies and new domestic and international political conditions, including societal disruptions related to the degradation of ecosystem services and natural resource depletion and to climate change, could very well result in a different future than the one envisaged in most predictions.

If governments fail to adapt to this new reality, democracy and freedoms are more than likely to worsen and impede effective governance.
