Letter to the Reader — Why We're Asking for Your Support Contribute"We will connect the national highway with the 'Arbër Xhaferi' highway. The citizens of Ferizaj will no longer need to go to Pristina to travel to Albania, because from Banulla they will exit at Duhël in Suhareka via the new highway," he promised the citizens of Ferizaj.
Hamza has also addressed criticism of the current government, which he has held responsible for misgovernance, lack of stability, and significant increases in the prices of basic products and electricity.
He stated that only PDK offers a clear alternative to get out of this situation.
"Kosovo has not failed, but it has been misgoverned. Prices have increased by up to 40 and 50 percent, electricity has become more expensive, while salaries and pensions have remained almost unchanged. This will change with the PDK government," said Hamza, adding that in his party's program, the focus is placed on supporting businesses.
And for small and medium-sized businesses, the PDK candidate for prime minister has promised fiscal relief through tax exemption for those with a turnover of up to 10 thousand euros. And for those with a turnover of up to 30 thousand euros, he has pledged that the tax will be applied only on real profits.
Hamza has also promised grants and subsidies for manufacturing and innovative businesses, as well as incentives for companies employing over 50 workers. As another promise, he has listed the reform of the value-added tax. He has also promised to stop the increase in property taxes, as well as support for the private sector.
His program includes promises to increase salaries and pensions. He has reiterated his pledge that salaries up to 400 euros will not be subject to tax, and for those above this level, he has promised that lower tax rates will be applied.
In the field of infrastructure, Hamza has pledged that during his government, projects initiated over the years will be completed, including roads to Gjilan, Mitrovica, Peja and Gjakova, as well as that he will make investments in railways and energy.
Hamza has announced investments in the fields of health, education and security, mentioning the creation of health insurance and improving conditions for public sector workers.
Hamza called on citizens in Ferizaj to support PDK in the December 28 elections.
"We offer a clear vision for development, stability and hope. With your vote, we will return Kosovo to the path of development and prosperity," said Hamza.
He also made such a call through a video address, saying that every vote matters and that the responsibility for the country's future is shared.
The PDK candidate for prime minister has called on the electorate to choose stability over uncertainty, unity over division, and work over words on December 28, emphasizing that Kosovo can only move forward as a united nation.
"Together we can move Kosovo forward," Hamza said in a video address, in which he thanked citizens for their commitment and democratic responsibility during the nine days of the campaign for the early parliamentary elections.
