The study's objective is to critically explore the relationship between politics, morality, ethics, and law, focusing on the Western Balkans. Like morality, politics is an activity and an effort around the community. As a concern for the community, and the everyday life of the people, morality would be the first kind, the first and most favorable form of politics. It means acting for the community's benefit, especially for the benefit of those who cannot fight for justice independently. Alternatively, if it accepts good and best customs as a regulation of its actions, it would have to be a pure moral derivative. Theoretically, then, politics should be the essence of morality. A transparent society's struggle should be based on political actors' real will and holders of power to make positive social values such as honesty, responsibility, and efficiency desirable behavior. To act morally also means to self-limit the power that arises from a political position restraint from conformism. It is a society's strategic commitment to preventing corrupt behavior by installing systematic tools in public authorities, corrupt irregularities sanction, and irresponsible individuals punished and prevented from acting in public. Hypocrisy and private interest characterized by civil society's industrial phase are rampant in post-Yugoslav societies today. Individuals remain subjects of politics; without them, neither justice nor morality will happen. Affirming the idea of cosmopolitanism and civil society whose democracy is valued by the government's attitude towards the individual is the basis of neoliberalism and the idea of human rights' inalienability.
