Smail: Serbian List Chairman in Gracanica nominated VV official for Deputy Mayor

Artan Smajli, the candidate for deputy mayor of the Gracanica municipality, has talked about recent developments that are taking place in this municipality. He said that even though he is the candidate for deputy mayor of Gracanica, from the Albanian community, recently from the Serbian List it has been proposed that the deputy mayor be [...]
He, according to Smail, was not part of the agreement with Albanian parties in the 2017 elections.
“In 2017 all Albanian political subjects, except for the VV, in cooperation with civil society we made arrangements to compete together by means of an initiative called Albanian citizens' initiative and we got an assistary. I was nominated to be a candidate for deputy leader from the” communities, Smajli said.
He claimed that the VVV Branch Chairman's appointment for deputy mayor of the Gracanica municipality was made by the mayor of the municipality coming from the Serbian List.
It's not very important why I didn't become vice president. Our goal has been to gain a position like the deputy chairman, but according to information that is now also official, an agreement has been reached for the VV Branch chairman in Gracanica to be deputy chairman of communities. He was nominated by Mayor Popovic”, he said.
Smail said that in the event there is more unification of political subjects in Gracanica, there will be more asmblastists.
“I hope this is not a new Serbian List game. I didn't mean for personal gain then either, but my goal is for us Albanians to be a united people. We now have over a thousand votes in Gracanica, I believe that if we all become together we get up to three asmblists. Part of our agreement was not VV”, he said.
