Periskopi(3 years ago)
(3 years ago)The most appropriate way to declare early elections in four municipalities in the north is to petition, says Prime Minister Albin Kurti. It for KosovaPress stresses that only when 20 percent of the electoral body express the will to cut off the current term, evidence is given that there can be no boycott of participation in the election, either [...]
Kurti for the KP says they are working to make the regulation of technical and administrative issues for new elections in the north as soon as possible.
“As far as early new elections are concerned, we have said from the beginning we are not satisfied with the release of citizens in this year's April 23rd elections and what they learned as a 24th percentage tomorrow. So we've offered the possibility of having early elections, but of course we want the situation, in which we will again have boycotts of participation in the elections, whether as a vote or as a run-off. We think the right way to do this is to use Article 72 of the Law for Local Self-government, which envisions the possibility of 20 percent of the electoral body emerging and express their will to cut off the mandate of the current chairmans”, says Kurti.
On the other hand, the government leader says that large-scale deespassing in the north has taken place, until he calls from the European Union to ease punitive measures and improve its stance on Kosovo as soon as possible.
“As far as measures are taken against us, we consider they are not fair. They're part of the asset in the reports and the sooner they end up the better. We are doing all we can and know, but it would have to be that our European partners and allies as soon as they improve their attitude towards Kosovo. As a democratic and progressive Republic such as Kosovo deserves to be helped with all they can and not to have punitive measures”, he has said.
He adds that Kosovo is interested in full deespasses in the north, but according to him should be careful from the possibility of re-exceting the situation there.
“We have a working group now that made the security situation assessment, where Kosovo police consult with EULEX even KFOR. As a result of these assessments of this professional group, twice by 25 percent have reduced our police presence in three buildings in Kosovo's three northern municipalities. We are interested in further design, though it is a general conclusion that the transition has already taken place to a large extent. We have no violent protests, no incidents but we have to be careful about the potential of the resurpass. The address of this is known to be not in the Republic of Kosovo, but in the capital of our northern neighbour”, Kurti has declared.
Kurti also welcomes the letter of European and American lawmakers, requiring greater support for Kosovo and tougher access to Serbia.
