LDK leader Lumir Abdixhiku has written a letter to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. The letter calls for the immediate and complete lifting of the European Union's punitive measures against Kosovo.
According to the LDK, the continuation of these measures is unjustified and as such is producing direct consequences for the citizens of Kosovo.
"The Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) demands the immediate lifting of the European Union's punitive measures against the Republic of Kosovo. The LDK assesses that the continuation of these measures is unjustified and does not reflect the current political and institutional developments in the country. The European Union's measures are producing direct consequences for the citizens of Kosovo and are damaging state institutions. Local government in the Republic of Kosovo in the northern municipalities has already been transferred and the criteria set by the EU have been met," the LDK statement on the letter said.
The LDK's request further states that these measures have harmed the citizens of Kosovo, not its politicians. As a result, a considerable number of projects have remained blocked.
Days ago, PDK leader Bedri Hamza, on behalf of the party he leads, wrote a letter to the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, in which he requested the immediate lifting of EU measures against Kosovo.
