Selmani: 16 Kosovo villages have no connection with Republic of Kosovo (Video)

Democratic League of Kosovo MP Driton Selmanaj has said that in a part of Dragas, where there are 16 villages, the state of Kosovo almost doesn't exist at all.

I saw 16 Gora villages have nothing to do with the Republic of Kosovo. They there realise the parallel system of education. Their school curriculums are of the Republic of Serbia, not of the Republic of Kosovo. Salaries are taken from the state of Kosovo but also taken from the Republic of Serbia. A parallel health system. The doctor at the ambulance in the Gora region, in one pocket, has the seal of the Republic of Serbia, in the other, the seal of the Republic of Kosovo, depending on what the patient is, he has the seal and he acts like that. The security parallel system, recently the Haradinaj government, has allowed some 40 people to act as forest guards, but the people there said they also behave with long arms that are actually similar to the bridge guards we have seen in Mitrovica”, he said.

He added that Gora's parallel municipality chairman has been Kosovo deputy, Adem Hoxha.

“Adem Hoxha and what is from the state of Kosovo he, an official Kosovo government machine, enjoys from the state of Kosovo, goes”, he said, adding that he does not believe this is happening without the support of Kosovo's central level.

He added that urgently the sovereignty and integrity of Kosovo institutions should be extended to that part.
