Drinking water, underground parking lots, agrotourism and support for businesses were some of the promises made by the Vetëvendosje Movement candidates for mayor on the 26th day of the election campaign. And some of them, in addition to their promises, have also expressed their full conviction that after October 12 they will lead the municipalities in which they are running.
The candidate of the Vetëvendosje Movement (LVV) for mayor of Prizren, Artan Abrashi, has promised a final solution to the drinking water problem in this municipality.
He said that the investment for uninterrupted water supply will cost 20 million euros, while pledging that during his government, all villages in the municipality will have clean and controlled water.
"Not with improvisations, but concrete investments, 20 million euros for 4 years in uninterrupted supply every day, all day long. We will renovate the water supply network in all problematic neighborhoods of Ortakoll, Jeta e Re, Arbana, Kurillë and Hoqë e madhe, Bazhdarhane. Ensuring a stable supply throughout the summer", said Abrashi.
And in Pristina, candidate Hajrulla Çeku has said that tourism will be one of the main pillars of the capital's development. He said his plan includes investments in the city's 10 main attractions, the opening of a Visitor Center and support for cultural festivals. Çeku has also promised the development of agrotourism.
"We will renovate rural infrastructure, roads, water supply, lighting and sewage so that every village becomes accessible and livable. We will support agricultural families who want to open farm visits, guesthouses and traditional restaurants. The municipality will offer grants and facilities for investments in agritourism as well as training in rural marketing and hospitality services," said Çeku.
The candidate for mayor of Gjilan, Alban Hyseni, has expressed confidence that they will win the municipal race, even without a runoff.
"If until tonight anyone had any doubts about our historic victory in Gjilan without a runoff, tonight those doubts should be put to rest. With just one neighborhood of our city, we have more people than those who bring from all over," said Hyseni.
The same conviction has been expressed by the LVV candidate for mayor of Mitrovica, Faton Peci.
"To all of you expatriates who are coming to Mitrovica these days, I am grateful and thankful beyond words. As for my classmates, a heartfelt message, greetings from the class president and from October 12th, the mayor of the municipality," Peci declared through a video address.
And the mayor of Shtime, who is a candidate for another term, Qemajl Aliu, has revealed plans for the next four-year term of government.
"For the complete transformation of Shtime, in the second mandate, exactly where this building is being demolished, a square and underground parking lot will be built, while the pedestrian walkway in the middle will connect this square with 'Ahmet Shtime' square," Aliu pledged.
In Podujeva, candidate Shpejtim Bulliqi has promoted his work as mayor during his four-year mandate.
"We have found student scholarships with 50 thousand euros, we are closing our mandate with half a million euros in subsidies, scholarships for pupils and students. We have found the education budget for services and goods with 116 thousand euros, we are closing this mandate with a 1.6 million euro budget," said Bulliqi.
The candidate for Viti, Arsim Ademi, has presented his plans for agriculture with subsidies for farmers.
"Subsidies and support for farmers, investments in the agro-processing sector, livestock, drip irrigation systems and agrotourism. Development of orchards, greenhouses and irrigation systems. Forest management and energy saving", are the measures envisaged by Adem for agriculture in Viti.
