Valdete Daka: Even the ratio of The UN confirmed my words, that dismissal was political and revenge

For the country that often holds elections, the head/head of the Central Election Commission is one of the occasional protagonists of public institutional life. Valdete Daka has been one of the most commented figures in Kosovo in more than a decade. The rise of public debate to arrive with the president's dismissal, then in office, Vjosa Osmani and the conflict that started between them.

The US State Department report on Human Rights in Kosovo once again turned its attention to the former CEC head.

In the report, an explanation has initially been given as the incumbent president, in a public statement has criticised the CEC's vote for failing to compete in the February 14th election of candidates who were sentenced to the court's firm decision.

The report describes how, after that, the country's president dismissed Daka from the CEC and cited civil society organisations, which called Osman's decision on Daka as politically motivated “ ”.

Valdete Daka told Express today that the US State Department report has confirmed her words that the dismissal from the president has been “politically motivated and revenge” against her.

“The DEA has only confirmed what I said. My dismissal has been politically motivated. For reasons we all already know, for a handful of votes and for political benefits. It's my personality attack.

The UN report also quoted part of a European Union election report in 2021, stating that the dismissal of the Daka “could not be adequately supported with the argument that the decision was made on the basis of the General Election Law”.

The former CEC chairman says Osmani had no right to download it in the way she did and, according to her, all international reports have confirmed it.

All international reports have confirmed what I said. That she had no right to download me that way, as it did, and that this has been politically motivated by President”, Daka said.

Yesterday, President Osmani inaugurated the Council for Democracy and Human Rights. Dica finds it ironic how on the same day, the report appeared The UN who talks about the same issue and mentions her dismissal from the president. According to her, this report confirms and “constaton” that Osmani committed violations when removing it.

The “Day has been inaugurated by Mrs. Osmani the Commission for Democracy and Human Rights, while paradoxically on the same day, The UN has published the report and in the section of democracy and Human Rights found that Mrs. Ousmane made a mistake when he fired me. So it's been confirmed once again by an international institution what I've already said in a year, that dismissal has been personal revenge and politically motivated”.

It's been 10 months since ica's departure from office, and without it there's been another choice, the 2021 local ones. The former CEC chairman shows that she is no longer dealing with dismissal, but that, published international reports that are mentioning her departure are bringing satisfaction.

So there's a bad taste left and it's moral satifation for me, because someone who's impartial in this direction, that's international reports, confirming that my dismissal has been done illegally and unconstitutionally”, says further,

After her reactions that the president dismissed her for revenge, Dhaka has already quit the job. He says he's been waiting for the ombudsman to send this case to Constitution, but it shows that he has never received an answer from this institution.

Dacha also seems to be averse to political parties, who did not bring the president to Constitutional for the dismissal of the CEC leader. That's not what he does, according to ica, for political calculations.

“What the locals didn't do, they did international reports and confirmed it had to confirm our institutions”, she says.

“Must have foreign organisations confirm what Omboutsperson had to do and that even opposition parties, some of them for political calculations, have not sent this case to the Constitutional Court”.

Daka is a judge of the Supreme Court and says she has neither the interest nor the will to deal with anything else or any function that restores her to the public or political scene.

I have no interest, I've never been politically partial, so I would have wanted to remain so until the end of my professional career to be left this way”, she says.

I've finished my job. I did, I believe, with honor. In 11 years in the CEC, I had no remarks, no spot on my career. The latter has been a tremendous disappointment to me. I don't think I can deal with anyone.

Valdete Daka was fired on June 14, 2021, just before the 2021 local elections were announced. Kreshnik Radoniqi was named in her country.
