Arben Qirezi Qirezi focused his discussion on the functionality of post-conict, internationally administered countries of the Western Balkans, that is BIH and Kosovo. He argued that there are three principles in which international intervention in Kosovo and in Bosnia and Herzegovina relied its efforts: rst, dialogue and peace between ethnic communities; second, the build-up of multi-party system; and third, rule of law and free market economy. These three principles were thought to stabilize these countries in their path to European integration. However, there was a contradiction between the proclaimed aims and practices of international interveners. As Mesquita and Downs argue, international interveners, rarely, if ever, are even interested to help the growth of democracy within their client countries. Indeed, the external interveners view these places as clients, rather than as places where democratic development is sought. Both cases of BiH and Kosovo conrm this proposition.
