“In the new mandate as head of the Democratic Party of Kosovo, I have defined our basic priorities as a modern party with democratic and Western profiles. At the beginning of this week, I have pledged that I will be strongly engaged in the fight against corruption, nepotism and disgusting phenomena of abuse. This is what citizens are expecting from us, because they are full of words and want to see concrete action. There is no option but to act. And, we're setting a new standard of ethics. First we start with ourselves, and then this standard we'll stretch to every segment. Today, I stand before you to testify that we stand firm in this battle. Showing my commitment and vision as the head of the Democratic Party of Kosovo, I have decided that: Political appointees from the PDK ranks to Kosovo public institutions, which have charges that are linked to abuse of official position, corruption, or nepotism, to release functions immediately”, Wessel has said.

Wessel has also relieved all elected within PDK's ruling structures that have confirmed charges and that suspension of their functions, as he said, is valid until trial.
