Mustafa and Osmani remain silent, but someone in LDK defends Lutfi Haziri

The “already knows that no party can form the government alone because the electoral system in Kosovo does not allow that. This country needs good governance as it needs air. But what's clear is that the prime minister's name passes through the LDK's office!” has written the LDK's number two.

Although this statement was seen as a favourable position on the potential VV coalition partner, the same did not get support from party leader Isa Mustafa and Prime Minister Vjosa Osmani's candidate.

Haziri's statement sparked controversy with Vetevendosje officials, the most prominent was LV deputy head Besnik Bismemi, who, speaking of Periscopi, said that “has no important role, and does not bring weight to the talks they are holding with LDK at”. 

But despite the failure to react to the top LDK leaders, it seems that someone in this party agrees with Lutfi Haziri's statements.

Contacted by Periscopi, LDK member Arben Gashi said there is no comment on this Lutfi Haziri statement, adding that “when the deputy chairman speaks, the party has spoken”.

Mr. Haziri is vice president of the LDK, and he knows his mind. Nor do I stand behind that statement, Mr. Haziri is LDK deputy chairman, I have nothing to comment on, when the chairman and vice-presidents speak, has spoken to the party”, Gashi told Periscope.

Gashi added that what Haziri has said is being extracted from the context.

“is coming out of context what Mr. Haziri said by trying to create peace situations”, Gashi said.

LDK Deputy Chairman Agim Veliu contacted by Periscopi did not comment at all on this statement, saying he has no time to speak after he is at a meeting, while other party members as prime ministerial candidate Vjosa Osmani and others, such as Metom Shala, Avdullah Hoti and Lumir Abdijdzic of Dorutin Maloku, did not answer the phone at all.

Backing Haziri has also been found by Faton Bislim, who through a Facebook text was declared that the VV responses to Haziri's statement were unreasonable. 

The first reaction by Vetevendosje in this statement had come immediately from Albulen Haxhiu, who said the prime minister's “name was set on 6 October”.

Deputy Mayor Bislimi's statement last night has retorted Haziri, saying Bislim knows very well Haziri's role in the LDK.

Other reactions by the Vetevendosje Movement were made by economists, Iron Murati, even from Avni Zogiani. / PERISCOP
