Shpend Ahmeti: The mosque will be built, no doubt

“The central mosque will be built, no one will question it. But I hope that consensus on its aesthetic and style of construction will be reached”.

So has the chairman of the Pristina municipality, Shpend Ahmeti, who has told of Telegrafi as often as elections approach, opened topics of religion as well.

X-ray will be built. No debate here. This is a need for the Muslim community to have a central mosque for performing religious rituals, which notes a lack of space especially during the day of the jungle or religious holidays. If someone comes in and tells me that we have to build a mosque where a floor is in stores, that's the point. We don't have a definite law on whether we can have a religious object with” stores, Ahmeti added.

According to him, “in the law does not write anywhere about how the municipality should decide, adding that the Pristina Central Mosque project resembles a mosque in Turkey's Edirne”.

Whatever, I think it's best to build a consensus on these things, because that object will be hundreds of years old and not temporary.

Tomorrow will be the assembly of the Municipal Assembly and we have invited the Islamic Community of Kosovo (BIK), to present the project” to asmblyists, Ahmeti stressed.
