Local Elections Affected Parliament's Work

Kurteshi: There is great growth of Vetevendosje Movement

MP Ishmael Kurteshi from the Vetevendosje Movement praised that the Parliament has had to do its jobs.

Kosovo's Assembly has worked little, had a deadlock and procrastination. Kosovo needs a functional assembly. I hope that now, when spent in the second half of this year, the Assembly of Kosovo will start working fully. I'm in the Education Commission, but we've had a meeting with the education minister. We expect to see him soon, he said.

As for the election results, Kurteshi estimated there is great growth of the Vetevendosje Movement. “We have had 100 per cent increase in votes, we have six times the municipalities where we are in the runoff. We have only been in the run-off in Pristina, and now we are in six municipalities of”, he said. According to him, there are differences between national and local elections. “There's nepotism, there's the following asphalt not only of roads, but also of yards, the function of familiarisation in local elections. There is no great difference, so all parties”, he said.

For Pristina, Kurteshi estimated that Ahmeti has a very clean government. “I live in Gjilan and there are misuses”, he said. Kurteshi expects they will win in the runoff in Kosovo municipalities. He said that for Gjilan, who is in the VV's LDK race, it will win because the gendarmes are interested in change.

Haradinaj: Kosovo Assembly, cannot forward government jobs

While MP Daut Haradinaj from the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) said local elections have made no full functionality of the work of the Kosovo Assembly.

Each commission has a work calendar. I can't say he's late at work. It's logical that every government change affects work. As for the government's dynamics, the Kosovo Assembly, is unable to forward the government's “affairs, he said on the show “Country”, of Kosovo Radio Television (RTK) led by Zydus Kastrati.

Haradinaj for the October 22nd elections, said that as the AAK, they are satisfied with the results. Kosovo level “, we have good representation in all municipalities. We have an increase in Pristina by eight thousand votes. We are back where we have been in 2009, and now we have a total of 116 thousand votes in all Kosovo municipalities,”, he said. Haradinaj cited municipalities where there has been economic increase in votes for the AAK.

He said the AAK will decide for Pristina. The four thousand AAK votes, which are in Pristina, are crucial to victory in Pristina”, he said.
