Abstract
Election process is a fundamental issue in a democratic society. Countries that manage to undergo fair process, based on values and principles, codes of conduct, and applicable laws are able to build up stable and trustworthy institutions. The role of media in this context is of paramount importance to ensure a transparent and accountable outcome. The issue of electoral silence has been a heated debate during the election process in Kosovo, given the loopholes in the existing laws and directives. The aim of this research is to analyse the electoral silence status as one of the specific segments of electoral processes, particularly in the case of Republic of Kosovo. Research has been carried out using secondary data from the existing literatures, applicable laws, cases, media, and other relevant bodies in Kosovo.
