Voton Shqirim Arifi says Kurti divided Albanians in Presevo

Arifi said this is because of the Albanian division and competition on two separate lists.

He said it happens because of the Albanian division and competition on two separate lists.

It's a disaster. It's now been over three hours since the polls have been opened, even what I've warned before, that Albanians since 2022 have been boycotting (elections), because we have been divided. It seems that this year once more they are boycotting our two-list split. It's a disaster, as you see it, there's no collection, so it's in 38 other locations, say Arifi.

After the vote, Arifi added that the boycott by citizens is the bill to the Albanian leadership. According to him, the end of egocentric policies in the Presevo Valley has come.

The division has been taking place in the Presevo Valley for two years, with strong support from Prime Minister Albin Kurti, because it's not the division that we've loved, but it's a division that Kurti has brought upon us. So, it's not something we wanted to do with each other. Because we had a unified list in 2020, that's where we could unite. In the last two years, division has taken place strongly supported by Kurti. And today we also give Kurt” the bill, he added.

The owner of the Albanian Democratic-United Democratic Alternative “list does not express optimism that there will be Albanian representatives in Serbia's Parliament.

The atmosphere is too weak to send an MP there, because it's not the voter's fault, it's our fault, it's ours, it's our fault, even though I've given everything to unify, but it's an egocentric policy that's backed up by Kurt for two years and today's the result. You say 10,000 or 11,000, but I say depending on the exit across Serbia, maybe it could be the highest number to send an MP to parliament, so this looks very, very hard without reaching”, the Presevo chairman concluded. / Kosovo
