“The LDK has never been worse before the elections: One of the founders of the party

It wasn't even about civil, national and intellectual freedoms. It was a state of terror in which one group of writers and intellectuals decided to try and make a difference even because the political elite of the time a part was imprisoned, another part was so frightened that they no longer felt alive, so there was a total vacuum left, there was no one to represent the people, and we got this initiative to establish LDK<18C>, the Krasniqi confession that 31 years ago was the right hand of President Ibrahim Rugova.

The founding of this party, Krasniqi even named it the largest political movement of Albanians in the former Yugoslavia.

The party has also quickly become a major national movement and became the movement that took over the political orientation of Albanians under occupation circumstances and, as such, no doubt, is the largest political movement of Albanians in the former Yugoslavia”, continues its confession.

For Krasniqi, Rugova was the leader who held the party together. In fact, he told Express that as soon as his death, factions and nonconventions began in LDK.

“Today's LDK is a party that has passed through the tide and tide of the power struggle, separately after President Rugova's death in 2006. She entered a vortex of internal conflict, with fractions of Nexhat Daci, and then came to the last appearance of Vjosa Osman. The LDK today is actually a party suffering from internal divisions and from non-changing generations”, he has stated.

Speaking of failing to change generations in LDK, Krasniqi stressed that there are many people there who have been active in the party for 30 years.

“Sic is known in Kosovo the population age is very young and generations changes are very rapid, while in LDK this has not been reflected. Most people in LDK have been there for 20 or 30 years. No demographic change has been reflected, of requirements in its profile, so in this respect there is a break from the new generations and from the problems of society”, Krasniqi said.

“

Despite confirming that within the LDK, there may still be persons working in the Transylvanian spirit, Krasniqi said he fears that this spirit has waned in the party.

There are actually people there who have the Romanian heritage for why they are from the time that President Rugova was and formed in that spirit. Normally not everyone. The party itself as such I am afraid that it has overshadowed the spirit of Rugova because Rugova's characteristics have been tolerance towards political opponents and separately within the party”, he has said.

Furthermore, Krasniqi said there was no exception at the time from the party in the event thoughts did not match the leader.

“We have known to rebel against the positions of the president, but he has never taken measures as was this move that the LDK General Council took for the exception of Vjosa Osman from BiH and the General Council”, he has said.

Krasniqi stressed that if it were the exemption as a punishment measure due to controversial statements with the leader, he would be excluded 10 times by Rugova.

If it were for statements I was expelled from LDK in Rugova's time about 10 times, but the LDK didn't have that spirit. I don't know where you came from and how it was installed, but I'm afraid it's giving you consequences, because the departure of Vjosa Osmani I'm afraid will hurt the LDK because it gives an image of a party that doesn't tolerate the opinion differently. At first it was a party that tolerated the opinion differently”, he declared.

Krasniqi: LDKHA has never been worse before elections

With the Constitutional Court's recent ruling, for void of MP Etem Arifi's vote that was crucial to forming the government “Hoti”, the country has opened the way to holding early elections.

Milazim Krasniqi, one of the founders of LDK, 31 years ago, in an interview for Express said this party has never been worse before the elections.

As far as I see from its internal developments, I believe that LDK has never been in worse position before the elections. That's because he's having a crisis with Vjosa Osmani, as well as the crisis within the aging, tired leadership and not reflecting dynamism”, Krasniqi said.

According to him, compared to other parties, the LDK is far away even with political activity displayed in public.

The “is enough to look at, for example, the dynamism of the Vetevendosje Movement but also of the PDK, The AAK in terms of leadership reflecting on day-to-day basis, on the ground, on the media and elsewhere, while the LDK has this because it has”, he has said further.

One of the founders of the party: The LDK risks losing the electorate, should mobilise as soon as possible

The country is on the verge of early elections. In this regard, one of the LDK's founders, Milazim Krasniqi, has said that if this party is not mobilised, it risks losing the electorate.

“If not mobilized quickly may have problems in the election outcome. Some time ago I thought that the LDK would soon go to an extraordinary coalition and elect the party leader who would at the same time be a candidate for prime minister and in that case be a new face and a new profile even before its electorate.

According to his predictions, the LDK (LDK) by mobilising its electorate can get 20 to 23% of votes in the elections.

“The LDK needs to be able to mobilise on its own, its electorate without expanding it, and others can go up to 20-23%. If they do not mobilise its electorate, it can move towards other parties, such as Vjosa osman or LVA”, he has stated.

Today, 31 years have been since the founding of the Democratic League of Kosovo.

At the time, 119 members, including writers and intellectual writers, appointed the LDK (LDK) headship to Mayor Ibrahim Rugova, Secretary Jusuf Bukojov and members of the chief Fehmi Agani, Bujar Bukoshi, Ali Aliu, Nekibe Kelmendi, Mehmet Kraja, and many prominent figures of writers and intellectuals at the time.
