Wessel: October 6th to win not to let others fail Kosovo

Wessel has said that no one more than the PDK has the clear direction Kosovo needs. He has cited his cause for a non-compromy fight against corruption, for a strong economy and alliance with the friendly states of Kosovo.

Leader of The PDK has said it will win on 6 October not to let others fail Kosovo.

This is the full speech of PDK Chairman Kadri Wessel:

What an exciting evening.

What a victorious spirit.

Yesterday we were won by Kosovo National Football.

On October 6th, get ready for our national victory in politics.

Victory of the Democratic Party of Kosovo.

For each of us, this journey is exciting.

It is not just another political event.

It's not just a moment of reflection on the road we've been through together here.

It is a pledge to make the road for the road that will determine the direction of our country.

We've come all this way with many sacrifices.

We've achieved success.

There have been mistakes.

But only those who know Kosovo's journey accept the values, defeat, sacrifices, successes and mistakes, know exactly what the best course our country should take.

We all need to know that October 6th is not just a day of voting.

It is a referendum on Kosovo's future.

If we want to move strongly towards Euro-Atlantic travel, towards confronting the real challenges of corruption, nepotism, abuse, failure and endangerment of the state.

Or should we get into dilemmas, conflicts and escape from responsibilities?

Before us lies a historical turning point.

And, at such moments, what always turns out to be the Democratic Party of Kosovo.

On October 6th, we will win to prevent others from failing Kosovo, isolating Kosovo, leaving Kosovo at a vague stagnation.

On 6 October, we will win, with civic confidence, to show everyone that this country has hope, that Kosovo is our faith and life, that Kosovo's men and women are capable of developing their country.

On October 6th we will win, to show everyone that those who promote youth and give them a real chance will lead the country.

Dear citizens,

October 6th elections are not the goal. They are the way to realize our vision and common dream for this country.

Can we build a free, equal, secure, just, prosperous Kosovo for each citizen?

Can we build a Kosovo without corruption, nepotism, and equal chances?

Can we build a Kosovo where young people don't run away, but stay here, create family here, raise kids here, work here?

Can we build a Kosovo where the glory of the Kosovo Liberation Army is honoured and is not despised or abused by its values?

Can we build a Kosovo where there is economic development, where there is external and internal investment, where there are jobs for young people, for women and men, for anyone who ends a school or has a profession?

Can we build a Kosovo that, with its economic development, rule of law, imposes the respect of foreigners towards us?

Can we build a Kosovo that protects territory, sovereignty, that promotes peace, co-existence, and strengthens the alliance with the United States of America and the European Union?

We send a clear message from here:

That yes EN, the Democratic Party of Kosovo, will do so.

We know how to do this.

We have the courage and vision to do so.

So the next election has to do with a big question:

Who can protect and develop Kosovo?

Who can fight corruption and keep young people in Kosovo?

Who could change the economy?

Who can stop Serbia's aggression against our country?

Who guards friends and partners, who strengthens Kosovo's bond with them?

We'll do these.

We know how to do this.

We are the freedom party, the Democratic Party of Kosovo.

Dear citizens,

In two decades of freedom, and a decade of independence, the Democratic Party has led crucial processes for Kosovo.

Others have either complained or just watched us and tried to judge us.

But they have done little or nothing.

There were also those who tried to deny and destroy what we have built for 20 years.

Even today, they are not able to meet the challenges of the State.

Either you lack courage or you choose the wrong way!

Kosovo cannot be led by someone who goes into debt to the leader and the party, more than by citizens and Kosovo.

Not those who dare not make decisions.

Kosovo's prime minister should answer only the people of Kosovo and the needs of citizens.

The future cannot be built for the state of Kosovo by those who suspect it, who deny the identity of the state of Kosovo, from those who are heartless to bring up the Kosovo flag.

A future can't be built here by those who plot and violate partnership with the United States of America and the European Union.

A future cannot be built here by those who have no will and courage to fight corruption, nepotism and abuse of power.

If we want to fight corruption, the first thing is to accept the problem and start changing from home.

Because, all Kosovo parties have been and are in power and have made and made mistakes.

But, the PDK is the only party that has both the will and the courage to correct these mistakes.

We have a plan to fight corruption, how to keep our young people here, how to build a future.

We're going to form a government without charges.

A government that will be small in number, but very efficient and involved in the work.

A government with new ministers working for citizens.

It's going to be Government mostly young sometimes.

A government that will not abuse citizens' taxes, but will protect them.

By facilitating existing businesses and helping new ones; with a strategic, precise and concrete plan, in line with the needs of citizens, market demands and economic development direction.

A government that will build the best today and a secure future.

We will strengthen co-operation with the US, the EU and free democracies, bringing in foreign investors, increasing competition and releasing the creative spirit of youth.

Fighting corruption, we will invest more in better infrastructure, job creation, promising young entrepreneurs, and innovative projects.

We will create a strong economy.

We will continue to strengthen and improve the health and education system.

We will make our dreams of youth come true.

But that is not a dream that can be realized by one.

It's not a war you can win with a soldier.

This is a war that belongs to all of us.

This is a vision that we can all make true together, with hard work and faith.

Dear Citizens

All my life, as most of you, I have worked for Kosovo.

I've never been afraid to fight for my country.

Not when we founded the Kosovo Liberation Army, nor now when it needs to fight corruption and develop our country.

I've never acted just to make my dream happen.

But always based on a desire and common dream of our nation.

Even today, our dream, our vision, has nothing to do with October 6th.

It's much bigger than that.

Long before I knew there was a choice, I decided to act against corruption phenomenon and fraud with veterans' lists.

Long before I knew there would be a choice, I decided to dismiss any who were guilty of corruption and nepotism.

Because I believed that to make the difference, we have to start with ourselves.

Other parties looked at me, talked and accused me, but you see the effect is being achieved.

As a new ethical standard in politics set by the PDK, there will be no people with charges in institutions.

Long before I knew there would be elections, I promoted young people to leadership positions in Government and the PDK, giving them the chance.

They testified to themselves. They saved millions of euros from Kosovo's budget, fighting corruption and turned them into good for citizens.

Dear citizens,
Respected co-party,

I have entered the race for Prime Minister with a clear purpose:

Kosovo cannot turn back.

Kosovo cannot stop.

Kosovo cannot remain isolated.

Kosovo must move forward.

October 6th is a chance you can't lose.

I know that many citizens are disappointed by politics and today do not believe in it.

I know why. And I know the answer. We definitely need an ethical code in politics.

We need more honor, faith and courage!

And I assure you that with a good policy, all challenges are overcome, all problems solved and the dreams of youth come true.

I have fought and will fight with all my soul, with you.

I've never lied to you before, even though maybe I've always known how to tell the truth.

I have entered the war for Kosovo.

Today I am in politics for Kosovo and only for Kosovo.

I only answer the citizens, my nation and the Constitution of the Republic of Kosovo.

I will not stop until the end in my fight for a Western Kosovo, developed, without corruption, with powerful economies and equal members of the European family.

Therefore, for the good of Kosovo, for the good of children, women and men, young and old, I call all of us to be together.

PDK is your family.

It's your voice.

It's your strength.

And, I as Kosovo Prime Minister, am ready to do our best for our country.

Build the future. For you. To the state.

Congratulations... Victory...
