The chairman of the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), Memli Krasniqi, said that his party voted to elect Dimal Basha as Speaker of the Assembly to prove that it is not contributing to the institutional blockade.
“More than for Dimal Basha or the individual, we voted to keep the promise and the word we had given to the citizens of Kosovo — that the Democratic Party is not a contributor to the blockade. Within the criteria and parameters we had set as a party, we acted to unblock the situation and overcome the political deadlock,” Krasniqi told Klan Kosova.
“There is a history behind this because nothing new happened today. Today is simply the epilogue of a political crisis that Vetëvendosje started long ago.”
“Since all the obstacles were focused on the election of the Speaker, today was an important moment. At least since April 15, when the Assembly should have been constituted, Vetëvendosje has carried out a series of actions that have contributed to the months-long blockade — which even today has not been fully resolved.”
