Majority of the media criticize the Government and conclude that, judging from past practice, nothing of significance will change after its first 100 days in office.According to the media, the Government is engaged in a “selective battle for political discrediting of its opponents, while Krasniqi walks around free and phantom armed gangs interrupt ‘Nota-Fest’” and that “the political bulldozer that dealt with illegal construction deflated like an old ‘rusty machine’”.

At the same time, the media conclude that, in spite of the announced “regulatory guillotine”, “the political realignment of the institutions continued to the effect that citizens that entered don’t feel like they face an institution of the state, but a party political court”.

These are some of the findings of the “Media Mirror” report for December 2006. The report intents to present a clear picture of the professional standards and information criteria of the media and the describe manner in which they cover and interpret the key social and political processes and events.
