Hoxhaj: If PDK vote is required, the president is nominated by us

The Democratic Party of Kosovo has not yet received an invitation from the majority parties for any meeting to discuss the election of the new president. The incumbent party chairman Enver Hoxhaj in an interview says the PDK is firm that it will not vote for any candidate other than their candidate.

If PDK votes are required, the candidate must be proposed by the Democratic Party of Kosovo, must pass through the PDK leadership table. But if the other parliamentary parties in the Assembly can agree and elect the president without our votes we are in order”, Hoxhaj has said.

On the other hand, he said it is currently time for the PDK to be honoured with any candidate from her party.

“As far as the state interest the parties in the coalition should lay the topic politically and morally so as to say President Thaci has been interrupted violent mandate, we are looking for PDK votes and it is time to honor him The PDK, with its candidate”, has said Hoxhaj on TV Klan.

Hoxhaj also said he does not pretend to become president himself. But the party has not discussed other names.

I have a new task which is difficult and heavy to carry by the chairman of the party and entrusted me with leadership, in any situation I didn't think I would be a candidate, but it hasn't been talked about other names until now because there hasn't been any concrete situation to talk to”, Hoxhaj says.

First The PDK does not see with the interest of Kosovo citizens to organise new elections at this time of pandemic.

“If the capacity of politics in this country is only to organise free elections and governments that stand for 50 days or three months I think this is not in the interest of Kosovo citizens, especially at a time of pandemic”, Hoxhaj added.
