(3 years ago)Today, three other heads of Leposaviqi, Zubin Potok and Zvecan have been sworn in. But Ambassador to the United States Jeffrey Havenier said these should not believe they have a mandate to make major changes.

People ask me a lot about this: vs technique. politics, but what I wanted to say we can also say politics. The administrative é, but what I wanted to say and what I still want to say is: I think that none of the mayors should believe, with a small number of eligible voters voted, in one or another way, that they have a mandate to make big changes, that they have the mandate to undertake a number of initiatives, in particular initiatives that would be disturbing for a part of a community”, Hovenier said in an interview. RTV 21.
Technical or political, Havenier said the important thing is, however, they serve citizens, and escape tensions.
What we're trying to extract when we say technique or administrative is this: serve your citizens. Kosovo's law requires that there be chairmanship, the Finance Ministry must have a partner, the central government should have an official perform certain functions to send money, make program support, so do that, take care of your citizens, but do it in a way that does not create contradiction or cause tensions. But first make it a source of the reduction of” tensions, Havenier said away.
The same required that the approach of four mayors be multiethnic and comprehensive.
And some of the first signals are that it seems that elected mayors understand they have to try to have a multiethnic municipal administration, representing the composition of the municipality. That's the right signal we're looking for”, he said.
