Elections in Northern Macedonia, Kosovo Government Corrects Taravari Ground to Attack Osman

The Kosovo government is engaged Sunday in the election campaign in northern Macedonia. The Vetevendosje Movement, the ruling party with the country, supports the coalition of Albanian opposition parties in the neighbouring state and participates in the election race there with three candidates for MPs, including Prime Minister Albin Kurti's adviser.

The election battle for president of Northern Macedonia has just begun, but has quickly been exacerbated, especially between the two Albanian candidates for president, Bujar Osmani from Ali Ahmeti's DUI-led coalition, the largest Albanian party there, and Arben Taravari from the Albanian opposition coalition.

A 9-point plan proposed by the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSBE) in June last year for the extension of the situation in the north has been made issues in the election campaign in the RMV, after Bujar Osmani, who had headed this important organisation, spoke a few days ago of contributing to the extension of the situation in Kosovo, compiled that plan himself.

Kosovo Government spokesman Progress Kryeziu reacted on Sunday, saying they had only understood that Osman himself had drafted that plan, accusing the candidate for president of RMV of seeing Kosovo with international eyes.

Kryeziu wrote how the plan included the Special Police withdrawal request from Kosovo's north, Serbia to lower the military's readiness. Thus, he said that if Osman's plan were ignored, there would be another reality in the country following the September 24th terrorist attack on Zvecan Banjsk, which left Kosovo Police Sergeant Africa Bulnjaku dead.

“Gati four months later, on September 24th, a regular police patrol was attacked by paramilitary troops with sophisticated, state-funded weapons. Kosovo Police Sergeant Heroi, Africa Bulnjak, was killed there. Order and security on the ground within the day brought Kosovo Special Police back. If it were not for this entity in the north, we would know today another reality after the September 24th terrorist and paramilitary attack on Banjska”, Kryeziu wrote, comparing the OSCE proposal to Serbia's demands.

We realized that the OSCE's 9-point plan was drafted by Mr. Brad Osmani. Another case when Albanians see Kosovo with the eyes of international mediators. In the end, this plan did not become a government plan. The password happened. Without damaging sovereignty without endangering security. There is more normality in the four municipalities in the north than ever. Every time there was tension, they were caused by criminal structures and organisations. No chairman's resignation. There is a transmission of a legal and democratic process towards new elections in these municipalities that respect both constitutionality and legislation, but the will of citizens as well. And when kept, they would be free and democratic. They were not always like that”, wrote Kosovo Government spokesman.

This assistance of the Government of Kosovo in the election battle there did not fail to exploit Taravari, who wrote how Osman has done to Serbia <x0).

“Now I just read the communique issued by the Kosovo Government spokesman regarding the 9-point O plan The SEU for Kosovo. The Kosovo government found yesterday that this plan was actually written by Bujar Osman's own hand, not by intercommers. I am shocked to understand that Osman, as the Albanian leader of the OSCE, has misused his position to become Serbia's assistant by making Belgrade's” demands to himself, Taravari wrote.

Bujar Osman's 9-point <x0-point plan has called for the withdrawal of Kosovo special police, from Kosovo's legitimate territory. He has also demanded the resignation of Albanian mayors of northern municipalities. Bujar Osmani's document has demanded that those heroes who made us proud in the case of Vucic's attack on Banjska not remain in the north, where he was killed by Serb terrorists police witnesses Africa Bunnjaku”, he added.

Taravari wrote how well the Government of Kosovo did that “did not accept Bujar Osmani's” plan, as with it, Vucic's “bands would not have found resistance”.

The “comes to all of us when an Albanian politician from Northern Macedonia, such as Bujar Osmani, maintains such antinational positions in the case of Kosovo”, Taravari wrote.

Osman reacted later, targeting what he called “electoral games”.

“If Arben Taravari knew how the O Master's nine-point plan was synthesized, prepared and decorated The SEU's role in the north and the role of this plan to prevent territorial solutions to ethnic issues in Kosovo would think twice before it evolved into unknown electoral games and could greatly damage Kosovo's interest!”, Osmani wrote.

“Kosovo has been freed with resistance and co-ordinated efforts. And, Kosovo's freedom and independence can only be protected by co-ordinated steps”, he added.

The Vetevendosje movement is officially involved in the election race in northern Macedonia and Bekim Qoku, adviser to Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti, along with two women from LVV, will compete for MPs in the May 8th parliamentary elections.

The ruling party in Kosovo will compete in the RMV with opposition party coalition “VLEN”

“In Northern Macedonia Movement V There are many activists and sympathies. Together we will work for the V Change Today LEN and tomorrow for the strengthening of our Albanian people!”, Prime Minister Albin Kurti's adviser wrote a few days ago.

Kurti has denied being involved in the election race in northern Macedonia, but seems to be very interested. Before parliamentary and presidential elections in the neighbouring state, he brought leaders of several Albanian political parties to Pristina, with whom they agreed that the next president in Skopje should be Albanian.

Parasely, he said from Skopje that LVV does not compete and that Albanians should decide on their own whether to have a candidate for president

Late last year, Democratic Movement Chairman Izet Mexhiti had written that Kurti's Vetevendosje Movement had joined the Albanian opposition coalition, with whom he reported opening a joint headquarters in Skopje. This announcement had come several months after Kosovo's prime minister had physically offered this support during a very controversial visit to northern Macedonia in August 2023.

Currently, the government of Northern Macedonia is led by Talat Xhaferi of DUI, who has become the first Albanian to take office. It is a technical government that will last until the new government is followed with full mandate, which will emerge from the May 8th parliamentary elections. The same day, the second round of presidential elections takes place. The first will take place on April 24th.
