Description
It is beyond any doubt that new democracies suffer many shortcomings. They often happen as a result of wrong development directions; as a trend that does not ensure positive and quick changes in society; as constantly absent human capacity to move the society forward, or in worst cases, are presented with abusive actions towards rights, freedom and the property of citizens. All these actions, and not only these, come and go, interact but also incite one another, at the time when society failed to establish all mechanisms to avoid these phenomena. The only one that is constant and always accurate is the address of generator of these phenomena – governments mandated by citizens to run the country. When they assume this mandate in a correct and fair manner, we see a good start, but the practice shows that in new democracies abuses start with assumption of power.
