Justice Party (Kosovo) - Ideology

Ideology

The Justice Party follows a right-wing conservative platform as well as advocating a more liberal stance towards the economy. The party tends to attract religious conservatives in Kosovo (mainly Muslims) and has for example campaigned for a mosque to be built in Pristina to house the growing number of practising Muslims there. Although it is allied to the liberal Aleanca Kosova e Re it continues to follow a conservative platform and the religious conservative faction in the part continues to grow.

The party has been noted for breaking away from Kosovos traditionally secular sociey advocating for a ban on headscarves in schools in Kosovo to be overturned and for religion (on all major world beliefs) to be introduced and taught in schools.

The party has followed the Turkish moderate Islamist party Justice and Development Party (AKP), adopting several more liberal policies in economic terms and a more liberal interpretation of Islam citing to style it around AKP and the Turkish model of Democracy.
