Kurti: 12 candidates we had in the run-off couldn't have been better selected

According to him, these 12 candidates could not be better selected.

In addition, Kurti said selected candidates have come as a result of co-operation between the branches and the VV leadership.

The “undoubtedly, but candidates have been selected from some kind of co-operation between our centers, our branches and the leadership of Movement. Maybe he could have better, but I'm convinced that these 12 candidates we had in the run-off couldn't have been better selected. But there has been enormous co-ordination of others against the Vetevendosje Movement. This does not have much to do with local power and visions for municipalities, but it has much more to do with a kind of resistance to central power, which has emerged from the February 14th elections, which continue to be a kind of opposition trauma”, Kurti said.

Also about the candidates, Kurti said there was a meeting with them in advance and is awaiting a report by the VV election headquarters.

“S first, I've already held a meeting with the 12 candidates we've had in the run-off, both those who won, and those who haven't won. We are awaiting an election staff report in the Vetevendosje Movement, on whose basis we will then discuss the leadership. What I can say is obvious, is [the fact] that the Vetevendosje Movement, in recent years, has grown dramatically in the last four years. We have neither structure nor organization, which is suitable for size nor functional for compounding, to respond to such growth. So the October 6th, 2019 elections and the February 14th elections, 2021, have greatly enhanced our support as Vetevendosje Movement and have failed to hold internal elections and create structures that would be adequate for the situation. This is obvious, but of course there are other defects we'll have to deal with”, Kurti said.
