Sparked by comments in social media, on February more than 1000 people gathered in front of Kosovo's Electricity Corporation building.[1] The protests continued in the next several weeks, eventually turning into a protest against corruption. Some of the main slogans from the protest where "KEK pumping bills", "No country with thieves" and "Stop the theft, develop the state". Government responded with great caution during the protests, promising fulfillment of all requirements set by protesters.[2] CorruptionThe protest where sparked by high electricity bills but turned soon into a more widespread corruption protest. In May protests spread in other Kosovo cities. ImpactBecause of the protest, a foreseen increase of 5% for the electricity bill was stopped. The Parliament started an investigation which resulted in a detailed report sent to the Government and Electricity Regulatory Authority of Kosovo. It was also seen as an important protest because it was one of the rare ones in Kosovo started by the population without any interference by political parties or NGO's.[3] See also
