Kryeziu through a post on the social network Facebook has said the country is left without a kuka and institutions.
“How did we degrade democracy? Why did this happen? Did we collectively fail to defend democracy? And why couldn't anyone stop it? The last session of the Kosovo Assembly was held in December 2024.
