Long-distance clash between President Vjosa Osmani and LDK leader Lumir Abdixhiku over a meeting called by the state for the possible postponement of local elections.

The presence of Minister Donika Gërvalla and MP Mimoza Kusari-Lila in this meeting was a bone of contention for a long-distance clash between two former close associates.

“Today we had a consultative meeting. At the beginning, we expressed our reservations for the participation of the two uncertified parties in this meeting “, declared Abdixhiku in front of the media, referring to the participation of Donika Gërvalla and Mimoza Kusari-Lila in this meeting.

There was no lack of reaction from President Osmani to this statement by Abdixhik, who in the end said that “she decided who to invite to the consultations”.

“Regarding the presence of Mrs. Donika Gërvalla and Mrs. Mimoza Kusari-Lila in this meeting, I have set a standard since the first day of work. In this meeting, they represented the voice of the citizens in the parliament. Ms. Gërvalla represents an entity from which 8 deputies have emerged, and Ms. Kusari has represented herself. I also invited Mr. Pacolli. I also invited all representatives of minorities. In the end, I am the president and he decided who I invite to consult with me as the first of the state “, said Vjosa Osmani, among others./Telegrafi

The Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), in the meeting of the Presidency, days ago decided that Agim Veliu be fired from the head of the LDK branch in Podujeva.

Veliu reacted to this decision on Sunday.

In a post on the social network Facebook, he said that the Central Presidency of the LDK made a decision, how scandalous and contrary to the Statute of the party, after arbitrarily appointing the candidate in the race for Mayor of Podujeva in local elections and at the same time delegates to him all the competencies to lead the LDK Branch in Podujeva.

The decision for dismissal says that he was not informed but was informed through the media.

“I was initially informed through the media about the arbitrary and illegal decision of the Presidency and Mayor Abdixhiku.

Whereas, today (Sunday) I was sent the scandalous decision signed by the party chairman, which is not only known for violations of the party statute, but also for spelling mistakes, perhaps out of haste to “justify” the dismissal of the chairman as soon as possible of the Branch in Podujeva “, said Veliu.

He further accused the party chairman Lumir Abdixhiku, saying that he was playing a dirty game.

All this masquerade of President Abdixhiku and his supporters in the Presidency is nothing but a dirty game and an attempt to camouflage the decision in the name of an alleged internal reorganization (read: internal cleansing), presented in the President’s Platform. of the LDK 2021-2023 “”, he said.

According to him, although someone from the Presidency tried to deny that this illegal decision dismisses the President of the Branch, the text of the decision itself denies such political dilettantes, sitting at the table of the Presidency of the LDK.

“All competencies of leading the LDK branch in Podujeva, pass to the LDK candidate.

The candidate leads with the Presidency of the branch, the branch office and coordinates the activities with the heads of the sub-branches in the Municipality of Podujeva “, it is said in the decision signed by Abdixhiku.

“Even, with this scandalous decision, it is intended to take away the competencies, not only of the President, but also of the Branch Presidency, which is completely defactorized according to article 4 of this decision, regarding the formation of the list for municipal assembly”, says Veliu.

He further writes that such an illegitimate decision, of those who voted for him and the one who signed it, can not be called anything but a serious attack on the most successful branch in all post-war electoral processes in Kosovo.

According to Veliu, neither the LDK Presidency nor its chairman can dismiss or appoint a branch chairman elected in regular election processes by the Branch Assembly./telegraph

After the publication of the candidacies for president of the Democratic League of Kosovo, the member of the LDK Council, Xhafer Tahiri has expressed his support for the candidacy of Lumir Abdixhiku for the new president of this party.

Tahiri, in an interview for KosovaPress, said that on March 14, the day when the LDK Electoral Assembly will be held, this political entity will not repeat the mistakes made in the past.

Xhafer Tahiri, who is also the chairman of the branch of the Democratic League of Kosovo in Vushtrri, said that from the meetings they held it is clear how the branch will support Abdixhik for chairman of this party.

He expressed optimism that the LDK delegates who will appear in front of the ballot boxes to elect their leader will choose the right path for the future of the LDK.

“From the candidacy we have seen now of Mr. Lufti Haziri and Mr. Lumir Abdixhiku, but I believe that it is clear that our branch based on what I said and stated and the meetings we have held and will personally support the candidacy of Lumir Abdixhiku for chairman of LDK- of. The LDK is facing a very important decision on March 14 and I am confident that the LDK delegates will choose the right path to move forward. These elections are not to deny the past of the LDK, they are not to change the past of the LDK and they are not to deny the contribution of anyone within the LDK. These are elections for the future of LDK and Kosovo. Therefore, personally but also the branch of LDK in Vushtrri, support a radical change in these elections in the Assembly, we will declare with a vote regardless of whether it will be a secret vote “, he stressed.

Whether there will be disruption within the LDK on Sunday when the Electoral Assembly will be held, the member of the League Council, Xhafer Tahiri has wished that this does not happen after estimating that it would be a great disaster for this political entity.

He also said he does not believe there are clans within the party, as previous clans say they brought the LDK here where it is today.

“I wish this does not happen, it would be a great misfortune for the LDK and for Kosovo that the will of the LDK voters for change, the will of the membership for change be deformed in the box of March 14 that will be decided in the Assembly of the LDK. I wish that everyone in the name of the love they have for the LDK, for these 30 years for the LDK, to reflect and enable what is today the feeling and request of the absolute majority of the LDK electorate to be translated in the ballot box on March 14, otherwise it will be extremely problematic for the LDK. I do not want to believe that there are clans, because those clans have brought the LDK here, in fact we should open a discussion within the LDK to bring the system ‘one member, one vote’ after the new chairman is elected in in the next two years we should discuss to have ‘one member, one vote’ so that the LDK returns to the voters, the citizen and every member of the LDK has his own share in the election of the LDK chairman even at the central level but “even at the branch level”, he declared.

He hopes that on March 14 no one will be denied candidacy and it will be a democratic process, because as he said the mistakes of the past should not be repeated.

“We will see on Sunday, March 14 that there will be a festive election process within the LDK, absolutely no one will be denied the right to run, all candidacies will be voted and the infamous Article 25.2 will be exceeded in the Assembly, so it will not there is no denying anyone’s candidacy, because the mistakes of the past could not be repeated. It has been wrong in the past what has happened, I have been against those actions personally as an individual, and now as branch president, I will again oppose the denial of anyone and then it will be the secret ballot that will determine who will be the new chairman of the LDK “, said Tahiri.

The Democratic League of Kosovo will hold the Electoral Assembly for the election of the new president, on March 14 this year. Until the election of the new chairman came after the poor result in the elections of February 14 where as a result he resigned from the position of LDK chairman, Isa Mustafa.
