Opposition in Pristina urges Ahmeti to resign if dealing with dialogue

The task Shpend Ahmeti is wishing to give himself as chief negotiator from the opposition in the dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia in Brussels is seen as harmful to Pristina, the municipality he leads.

Ahmeti, chairman of the Social Democrat Party, has been declared ready to assume responsibility as the opposition representative in bringing the negotiating team together, in the event of the absence of the LDK and Vetevendosje Movement, reports 038 at KTV.

His priorities for these months remain the leadership with Pristina, which, as it says, until the agreement with Serbia is reached, will hold both.

We're talking about a process which is the most important for the citizenship of Kosovo, and I think that's important to everyone. If it lasts longer, then we'll think about it”, Ahmeti said in KTV's Rubik.

Ahmeti once criticized Isa Mustaf as mayor of Pristina, that he was dealing with central-level issues, thus bypassing the municipality. While, the opposition says he is now doing so himself.

Shpend Ahmeti's desire to be part of Kosovo's dialogue, Serbia, his former party, the Vetevendosje Movement, calls ambition ill to make a career. Until, its officials compare it to President Hashim Thaci.

The flight from Vetevendosje has captured a sick ambition of careerism, where, in such a short time, it wants many positions to hold. He has become the leader of a party as long as he is also head of Pristina, now he wants to join the ruling coalition, not as the opposition, as he is now already serving with ruling political positions and not the opposition. However, these sick ambitions have only been given Hashim Thaci until he came to power, has become prime minister, has received dialogue”, said Eman Nundman, LV's Asampist, Pristina.

Pummer says this situation intensifys LV's efforts to ask Ahmeti to resign.

This only adds to our commitment to seeking to resign or to see the possibility of various organisations to quickly remove such harmful governance for the citizens of Pristina”, he has said.

The intermittent says that if Ahmet continues with this ambition, citizens should mobilize with petitions and protests remove him from the mayor's position.

Vetevendosje's anemist declares that the possible organisation of the protests against Ahmeti has not yet been discussed in party bodies.

On the other hand, in the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), say holding two positions is very difficult for Ahmeti.

This opposition party estimates it has been fed up with the capital's governance and is wanting, through dialogue in Brussels, to find a way out.

<x) Shpend Ahmeti's “resignation is salvation for Pristina. The LDK is ready to enter the race for mayor. If it comes to new elections, the LDK is willing to win Pristina”, said Shefki Gashi, LDK's Asamblist, Pristina.

The resignation, Ahmeti, is also being asked by connoisseurs of developments in the capital, as they estimate that the situation in the municipality is only going by getting worse.

He has received citizens' votes and, although he is accused by many of his voters of treason, we are now getting this new innovation which is sending him to the helm of the negotiating team. The situation is going by weighing down, and Ahmeti must make a decision as soon as in principle to leave the municipality”, said Salie Gajtan ãomanac, journalist at “Koha Ditore”.

Guytan é Osmankaq says Ahmeti's willingness to become chief negotiator at the time when the municipality is facing numerous problems, challenges his work for the capital.

At a time when these troubles are so large in the municipality, Ahmeti agrees to become chief negotiator with Serbia, he really questions his many position and the work he can do in the municipality. I too am very skeptical if I can hold both positions, although Ahmeti has not become mayor to become chief negotiator”, he has said.

The Law for the State Delegation, which will lead negotiations with Serbia, has already been drafted and such an agreement has been made between the PSD, Initiative and Alternative. This agreement now awaits deputies' votes in the Kosovo Assembly.
