The Mayor of Pristina, Përparim Rama, has said that the acting Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, is trying to cover up the lack of contribution to the liberation war and the building of Kosovo's institutions with propaganda.
In a Facebook post on Tuesday, Rama wrote that Kurti has a "huge political and personal deficit," adding that the incumbent prime minister is trying to cover this shortcoming through political propaganda.

Letter to the Reader — Why We're Asking for Your Support Contribute"Albin Kurti has a huge political and personal deficit, because he has made no contribution to either the liberation war or the building of the institutions of the Republic of Kosovo," Rama declared.
He accused Kurti of continuously attacking Kosovo Liberation Army figures, calling them "thieves" and "criminals", while saying that he is attempting to include patriotic families in the political campaign discourse.
According to Rama, Kurti's six-year government has not brought concrete development to the country.
"For six years in power, he has plunged the country into poverty and stagnation. Without any major projects, without capital development, and without any concrete results. None. Zero," he said.
The Mayor of Pristina added that, in the absence of results, Kurti continues to rely on propaganda and political rhetoric.
"Let's see what he decides to continue the campaign with: with some threat to life, with some promise for the diaspora, or with another patriotic propaganda episode with Serbia," Rama declared.
Finally, he called on Kurti to offer a program, development and welfare for citizens, adding that international reports show, according to him, the impoverishment of citizens during this period of government.
