Kurti: In the north, you can only become mayor through the elections of the Republic of Kosovo

The Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, during the inauguration of the Kosovo Tax Administration facility in North Mitrovica, stated that the country's institutions function in the service of all citizens without distinction.

Asked if he had visited the mayor of this municipality, Milan Radojevic, he said that he had not yet done so, but that they would have the opportunity to meet. He continued:  declared that in the municipalities north of the Ibar you can become mayor, but only through the elections of the Republic of Kosovo.

"I did not meet him this time, but of course we will have the opportunity to meet on other occasions. It was a peaceful transfer of power, which means that in the municipalities north of the Ibar you can become mayor, you can become an assemblyman, you can become a director, but only through elections in the Republic of Kosovo," he said.   

Asked by Serbian journalists whether there is democracy in Kosovo, Kurti emphasized that his government is working for equality and the rule of law.

"We work for all citizens. I am not above the law. The time before our government was not normal. I am not saying that everything is normal now, but I am saying that everything is becoming normal. This is because the law is not what divides society into those who are not protected and those who no one dares to touch. But it unites society with unity and equality. You cannot give a single example where the organs of power: the Kosovo police, and now the tax administration, do not serve everyone equally and professionally," he said.
