Will women be trusted leadership of municipalities

The participation of women in elections and their nomination to run municipalities is considered necessary. Likewise, the ban on family voting practice to allow women to vote and testify to local leadership.

Kosovo Centre for Gender Studies leader Luljeta Demolli says of Kosova Prees, the beginning of the candidacy presentation has left them disappointed.

And we now see this whole parliament is over and it's ridiculous that the political parties argue that we don't have women to decide as candidates for local elections, it's not true, it's just now we see the whole Parliament is full of good women, we have good women everywhere, it's absurd that we have such an argument, we don't have wives to decide, it's brotherly connection, it's a business issue, it's a matter of interest, it's a matter of local governments, it's a family vote because it's easier to have a family vote with that one house vote, it's talking to the old man who's got it, and then it's completely secure it's all the votes, but it's pretty bad.

Bekim Salihu, a researcher at the GAP Institute, says parties are not setting the right example by running to larger percentages of men.

“Faj why we don't have women in the mayor's position is precisely the fact that political parties ignore the principle of offering even women's names on their lists for mayor of municipalities because in municipal municipalities it is legal duty for them to have at least 30%, but this legal obligation does not force them to submit to the proposals for mayor of municipalities, while disfellowshipped the legal aspect, within the principles of good governance will need political parties to propose even women to lead with municipalities, and this would undoubtedly reflect well in the country's image of<> he says.

And Arifi's stance by the INPO organisation says women are not adequately participating in budget and hearing meetings organised by municipalities.

Besides that it is necessary to participate the woman in the election, the participation of the woman in the different local and central representations, but it is necessary to lead a certain municipality a woman... We know that few women and few men take the liberty of becoming independent candidates because here is predominantly party issues, and it is difficult to infiltrate if you are not proposed or proposed by a political party, so the only way is to propose women from political parties. We need to raise development standards as a society and be represented by women in all spheres”, he says.

Kosovo President Vjosa Osmani during this week has met political parties for consultation about the date of local elections, expected to be held in October.
