The ratings are based on a scale of 1 to 7, with 7 representing the highest level of democratic progress
and 1 the lowest. The Democracy Score is an average of ratings for the categories tracked in a given year.
The Democracy Percentage, introduced in 2020, is a translation of the Democracy Score to the 0-100 scale, where 0 equals least democratic and 100 equals most democratic.
- National Democratic Governance rating improved from 2.50 to 3.00 because Kosovo’s leadership stabilized after 2021’s snap parliamentary and presidential elections, the conduct of which showcased growing political maturity.
- Judicial Framework and Independence rating improved 2.50 to 2.75 to reflect the resumption of efforts to reform the judiciary, the introduction of operational improvements across the justice system, and the opening of the first trial under the auspices of the Specialist Chambers.
As a result, Kosovo’s Democracy Score improved from 3.14 to 3.25.
