Kosovo and Albania have been categorized as “partially free” nations by Freedom House. Recent news from Gazeta Express, dated March 19, 2026, at 8:55, details this assessment. The nations were recently designated as “partially free” nations within Freedom House’s annual report, which is headquartered in Washington.
However, Kosovo has experienced a modest advancement in the 2026 World Freedom Report. The country achieved a score of 61 out of 100, representing an increase compared to the preceding year. This report, released on March 19th, highlights that within Kosovo, judicial systems have produced decisions indicating their autonomy, even while contending with considerable political influence.
The report attributes this progress to the political and institutional instability that affected Kosovo throughout the last year. During this time, the country was largely governed by a temporary administration. This situation, ultimately, contributed to the nation’s overall development and its ongoing pursuit of freedom.
The assessment underscores the challenges faced by both Kosovo and Albania in securing full democratic freedoms.
