Header The PDK has gone north, where it met residents of the villages of Ceraj, Bistrica and Kushtova of the Leposaviqi municipality. Then, the leader of Kadri Veselini's PDK went to the Zvecan municipality, where it met in Boletin, Albanian residents of this municipality.

The country's northern Albanian residents expressed concerns that the Kosovo government has forgotten and in the mercy of Serbian officials taking direct orders from Belgrade.

The representative of these villages, Shacir Hetemi, said that no Kosovo government official has visited them, while they have numerous needs both food and health, since now and several days, as Hetemi stressed, residents have been isolated after the government's decision of Serbia and by 1:00, have no right to move and go to Mitrovica for food supplies.

President Wessel's “visit is a moral support. This constantly comes from the 1990s, then in 2011 until today, near the inhabitants of these three villages of Bistrica, Kushtova, Ceray of the Leposaviqi municipality. Concerns are that the outgoing government has begun campaigning for votes in this village, and no food packages have come to this situation with access to these residents. A little complicated. We're respecting only the Kosovo police, but if they have anything, we ask them not to stumble us because they're hindering us from moving when we're going to buy some food or medical check when we're going to Mitrovica, they're hindering us on the Leposavic street in Mitrovica”, Hetemi said.

While Chief Behram, the father of the witness from the village of Bistrica of Leposaviqi, said there is no provocation that could push them to move from their lands, while he has thanked the PDK leader for the visit.

Good “It has come to a three - village area, there is no circulation, there to close it, and it is very difficult to escape. Wessel is the first to visit us here by leaders of the Republic of Kosovo. I'm alive, not one of these guys can fuck me from this village of”, Behram said.

After hearing demands of Kosovo's northern residents in Zvecan Leposaviq, head of The PDK said they would be helped with whatever they need and ordered them not to succumb to irresponsible provocations.

“Albanians must be unique and together, to respect the decisions of the institutions of the Republic of Kosovo, while the government should not create confusion and uncertainty in citizens so that this situation can be overcome as best”, Veselin said.

According to him, residents of this area who, besides pandemic, are now facing various challenges in life, should be more supportive.

Noting that it can and should be done more for these people, Wessel also said that any uncertainty should be avoided because of their environment and circumstances.

He has reiterated that the government has had to be clearer about measures against pandemic, rather than creating confusion with mutual decisions.

I have come to visit our citizens who are concerned with the confusion that our government has created unnecessary, of the double orders of a state we do not love and do not know. However, I believe this situation will be overcome as well. These are people who have been here for 21 years, who are now facing the COVID-19 pandemic and life challenges. They have to be more supportive. Any uncertainty about these people has to be averted for the fact that the environment they live in is like this, and they have to help you. They need medical, social help. It can be done more, it has to be more. The Kosovo government has not had to make mutual decisions, it has had to clarify whether the Republic of Kosovo has been in agreement with the Republic of Serbia for measures to the pandemic, it has been completely fine, but it has only had to clear up and not create confusion. Because it has particularly influenced this two-hour circulation, 5 o'clock, is of our institutions, then by 1 o'clock it's of the government of Serbia. The deployment of two municipalities in quarantine has also created a disappointment because it has been a decision in line with the state of emergency in the Republic of Serbia. The message is this, as long as possible, not to create uncertainty and confusion in citizens on the part of our government, and to overcome this situation through information and transparency”, Wessel said.

At the end of visit to northern Kosovo, mayor The PDK has also visited the Tower of national hero Isa Boletini, where it paid its respects.
