Otherwise, LGBTIQ+ community activists have asked Prime Minister Albin Kurti to dismiss Deputy Prime Minister Emilia Rexhepi immediately. Their request comes after the politician from the Bosniak community had said two years ago in a premonition that she opposes marriage among the same gender.

Two organisations of activists for protecting the rights of the LGBTIQ+ community, “Dylberizm” and “Replice”, say Rexhepi's attitude proves that she has homophobic attitudes.

“We, like Dylberizm and Replice, ask by Prime Minister Kurti for the immediate dismissal of Emily Redzepi from this position, as well as the appointment of a person whose cause for human rights is inconsistent in thought and action, without exception”, are said to be in response.
