Which country in the balkans is the least democratic besides Turkey ?

I would say Serbia. I’m not trying to suggest that the other countries in the Balkans are flawless democracies – take Albania, for example – but Serbia clearly stands out in a negative way. We've seen mass protests across the country, many of which are still ongoing. Yet the government has shown no willingness to respond, to seek compromise, or for the president to even consider stepping down. That kind of reaction – or rather, lack thereof – is not what you expect in a functioning democracy. In most democratic states, protests of that magnitude would lead to political consequences. Of course, every democracy experiences protests, but what makes Serbia different is the scale of the demonstrations, the deep public dissatisfaction, and the government’s complete refusal to take responsibility. And when it comes to corruption, we’re not just talking about stolen money or shady contracts. In Serbia, corruption has become deadly. What happened in Novi Sad, where civilians lost their lives, is a tragic example of how systemic corruption, negligence, and the protection of criminal structures can directly cost people their lives. This isn’t just undemocratic – it’s dangerous. But thats just my view from the outside.
