Pristina's Communists have not agreed that the great mosque in Pristina will be built on the basis of classical models of the Ottoman Empire. According to them, such a model does not reflect Albanian tradition and personality. These statements they made while discussing whether or not the mosque should be built at the location [...]

These statements made while discussing whether or not the mosque should be built at the divided location near the Great Post, which is emerging to be small under the size of the mosque.

Splitting the location and the mosque's architectural plan, which is expected to be built in the capital, has sparked debate in recent days. Concerns related to whether its architecture is compatible with the Regulatory Plan and uncertainty about the location have prompted Pristina chairman Shpend Ahmeti to put the day to question the Assembly on Tuesday.

And the issue sparked debate in the Pristina Assembly. The head of the session by LDK's ranks, Halim Halimi, said there was no reason for this issue to return to the Assembly again, since this issue has received the approval of asmblists five years ago. The current decision is not a matter of the Parliament, nor of the ambists to decide whether to build the mosque or not, since the decision on it was made 5 years ago when the location was shared and the decision for it is left to the executional organs and the Urbanism Directorate to implement this project”, he said. But his statement irritated the mayor of the municipality, Shpend Ahmeti. He said he has decided to put it into discussion in order to clarify things, as this issue has been politicised in recent days.

I've decided to put all the arguments and vagueities of the last few days into order for discussion. What the debate has raised is the lack of permission for construction, as well as why the location is real that it broke up five years ago. But there's a question of whether or not to have stores inside the mosque, because that's what BIK saw, through the construction plan of the mosque. But even by law it is not regulated whether such businesses should be within a religious cult. The other question is whether the mosque's architectural plan fits the regulatory plan of that part. He has therefore decided that we should all give our opinion on the matter. What I'm going to state is that this mosque will be built, even though voices will be built”, he said.

For the Islamic Community of Kosovo, building a mosque of great size in the capital has been a constant need. Resul Rexhepi from BIK, inviting competent bodies to give permission for its construction, the Central Mosque stressed, as they call it, will be the largest in the Balkans, building it will cost nearly 40m euros, while it is a donation from Turkey's Islamic Community.

The construction of a mosque has now taken 17 years in the capital. Its construction is not about political parties, but it is about citizens. We ask that we be granted permission and complete its construction, which has started for 5 years.

We also ask you to support us after you are witnesses of the believers on the day of Friday, and to stand outside the mosques, although there are not enough space for them. We've been looking for years. This mosque is the donation of the Turkish Islamic Community and will cost nearly 40m euros. The construction plan has been selected. I request your support”, he said. Shefki Gashi from the LDK said this party supports the construction of the mosque and wants it to start more construction, while adding that it would be better to build on Albanian architecture.

We like LDK are supporting and building the mosque, since the location is also divided. But I have a personal request, in my opinion it would be better if the mosque were built on the basis of Albanian architecture”. Even Ylli Hoxha, the municipal adviser from “Determination”, said the mosque must be built, but it needs to be taken over if the object's orientation coincides with location. My “My views do not think they should return the project from the beginning. I propose that small problems and minor obstacles hamper the project. The location does not match the size of the mosque, which is pre-represented under the UN Building Plan”, Hoxha said.
