Schools, drinking water, economic development and social welfare were some of the sectors for which the Democratic Party's mayoral candidates made promises and unveiled programs. Uran Ismaili, in his race for mayor of Pristina, promised to engage 200 officers in schools. And, in Drenas, candidate Petrit Hajdari pledged to revive the "Artisans' Street"
The Democratic Party (PDK) candidate for mayor of Pristina, Uran Ismaili, promised security in schools during a meeting he held on Thursday with representatives of organizations dealing with pre-university education.
During the presentation of the education plan, Ismaili pledged that if elected mayor, he would deploy 200 officers in schools to increase security. In addition, he said he would increase the number of psychologists and child assistants.
"For me, it is extremely important to build an infrastructure that is friendly, a network that is sufficient for the neighborhoods and Pristina. An impact on quality that means an impact on the way learning is given and promoted. An impact on the safety of students in terms of mental safety, in terms of physical safety," Ismaili emphasized.
And in Drenas, the candidate for mayor of this municipality, Petrit Hajdari, has pledged to revive the "Craftsmen's Street".
"The craftsmen of Drenas are heirs to a work culture that has kept the economy and dignity of this country alive for decades. The 'Craftsmen's Road' is a respect for the history of work, for the hands that have built, repaired, created", said Hajdari. "As mayor, my commitment is clear: this road will be built with standards, on time and with transparency. Because Drenas does not move forward by forgetting those who have kept it alive with honest work".
And in Suhareka, PDK candidate Dardan Berisha shared a video from the place known as "Father's Well", a water source that supplies the municipality. Berisha said that in order to solve the drinking water problem, he also plans to open several other parts.
"With the drilling of two new wells, the city of Suhareka will be supplied with drinking water 24 hours a day. The villages of Gjinoc, Gelac, Leshan, Neperbisht, Shiroka and the economic zone in Shiroka will be supplied with drinking water 24 hours a day. With the implementation of this project, the city of Suhareka will be supplied with 30 liters of water per second," he said.
Meanwhile, in Kamenica, candidate Jona Arifi promised the establishment of a business park.
"An area dedicated to our entrepreneurs, to craftsmen, to those who want to produce, to invent, to grow their ideas. This will be a modern space, with favorable conditions, where together we will give life to the local economy," Arifi declared.
In Kaçanik, candidate Sabedin Vishi asked citizens to decide to continue local governance with PDK.
"Kaçanik needs continuity, good work, new projects, more transparency and care, a municipality that listens to people and treats everyone with respect. We need to preserve what has been done well and improve what can be done better," Vishi called.
The deputy mayor and candidate for mayor of Mitrovica, Arian Tahiri, has presented part of his social welfare plan. He said that this plan is included within the sixth pillar of his program.
"In the framework of caring for the most vulnerable and social inclusion, we will build the Home for the Elderly. Mitrovica will have a modern institution for caring for the elderly, which will provide housing, basic health services, social activities and dignified care. We will provide day centers and provide social assistance to categories in need. Day centers for children, for parental care, for people with disabilities and for the elderly who need daily services will be opened and supported," he said.
Rrahim Tërnava, who is running for mayor of Fushë-Kosovo, said that he will solve the waste problem.
"With our plan to purchase new trucks and an efficient management system, we will ensure cleanliness in every neighborhood and respect for every family in Fushë-Kosovo. Our city will be cleaner, more organized and more livable for everyone," he emphasized.
And in Vushtrri, Mayor Ferit Idrizi, who is seeking a second term, cut the ribbon on the new city square and an underground parking lot. He called this one of the largest local government projects in the history of Vushtrri.
