“There have been offers to continue this mandate until 2021, with mandated prime minister from the Democratic Party of Kosovo, myself, there have been offers from parties that tend to talk about very early elections. But no, this will not happen for itself the fact that in the circumstances under which Kosovo is currently under, citizens deserve a government that would lead in a path of developing perspective, fighting corruption, these are the biggest priorities in Kosovo, employment and fighting corruption. At the same time, at the moment, when Kosovo is economically powerful, it can also be confronted with Serbia, at this very moment it needs civic legitimacy, every time we have doubts we have to look at the citizens, this has been my decision, maybe someone has surprised, but I believe in the citizens and we have to go to the elections, because these elections are also some kind of referendum on the way Kosovo will go in the next four years of”, there are representative Veselin Ves.
He added that the offers have been from all those parties protesting and calling red lines for PDK.
Concrete options by political parties, which today speak of red lines in elections only for the sake of a benefit in public opinion. I'm talking again, the moment there's dilemma, my biggest determination was to go to the elections. Every time we asked the people we've done better and the moment they get this legitimacy they should then run the country”, he declared.
Wessel has said the PDK will not compromise the post of prime minister. Furthermore, it has stated that for two cases, people entrusted to the post of prime minister have failed.
“People who do not have the trust of citizens have neither legitimacy nor responsibility, in the two cases we have failed and this is a unique case for Kosovo itself to move forward. The PDK goes to the polls with confidence in the will of citizens, no one dares violate the will or the interest of citizens, but it also goes with the belief to win and lead with the legitimacy that citizens give, in no other way, it is expressed.
