Wessel: My vision is fighting corruption, creating opportunities for young people and economic development

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.

Speaking of his vision of the future government, Wessel said it would mostly have new ministers.

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”, Wessel said.

“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 will be Government with mostly young sometimes”, Wessel said among other things.

“all my life, like 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”, Wessel said.
