Setting December 28 as the election date by President Vjosa Osmani was a realistic and fair proposal, which was accepted by the majority of Kosova’s political parties.

The Constitution requires the president to be independent and non-partisan, but this does not mean he or she must be neutral. He or she should lean toward and support issues that are in the interest of the people and the state. If these issues align with the actions of a particular political party, that is completely acceptable.

Criticism toward President Vjosa Osmani for allegedly favoring one party over another is unfounded. Throughout her mandate, she has fulfilled the duties required by the Constitution. Those parties whose actions did not serve the interest of the state have no right to complain about anything.

Regarding the setting of the election date, it is impossible to satisfy everyone, and no date is ideal. If December 28 enables greater voter participation, especially from the diaspora, this is very good and should not hinder anyone.

Choosing a place to live is a personal and family matter for each individual. It is a private decision that no one has the right to interfere in. Criticism in this regard comes only from individuals without family upbringing, incapable of solving their own problems, or affected by greed, spite, jealousy, and other mental illnesses.

Kosova and the diaspora have been and remain inseparable in both good and difficult times. They need and depend on each other. The resistance of the Albanian people against the Serbian fascist occupier and the struggle for freedom would have been far more difficult, or even impossible, without the support of our legendary diaspora. It continues its historic mission today with dedication and pride.

Our centuries-old enemy, hegemonic Serbia, along with its vassals, has never hidden its desire and efforts to eradicate the Albanian people. Serbian regimes prepared their infamous projects even in writing, with care and detail, coordinated with the Serbian Church and the Academy of Sciences. The forced expulsion of Albanians backfired like a boomerang. The diaspora did not forget the homeland, but became even stronger, striking back at Serbs consumed by hatred toward Albanians.

Therefore, no one has the right to deny the diaspora the right to participate in the country’s elections. Even if there are arguments for possible bias toward one party or another, this is irrelevant. The diaspora’s vote is guaranteed by law. It is the duty of every party to act wisely, with concrete proposals and actions, to attract voters.

Voters from the diaspora can be considered more independent and more determined in their positions. They are economically stable and enjoy greater personal security in the democratic countries where they live.
Kosova’s political parties can easily win over the diaspora through clear and concrete work and actions in the interest of the state. The diaspora understands the struggle for power. But when that struggle turns into resistance against the state with the aim of weakening or eliminating a political opponent, it becomes incomprehensible and unacceptable.

With all respect and admiration for the KLA freedom fighters, led by Commander Adem Jashari, and for the parties that emerged from it—PDK, LDK, NISMA—I must say with pain that the leaders of these post-war parties have failed completely in politics. The same, with great respect for the democratic movement of President Ibrahim Rugova, can be said about the current leadership of the LDK.

These parties failed in government due to uncontrolled corruption, unnecessary submission to international actors, and needless concessions to Serbia’s hostile demands. Their many failures as the opposition are even more incomprehensible and unacceptable. They cannot be justified.

Their monstrous blockade of forming the parliament, rejection of any coalition or cooperation with the governing majority, but especially the refusal to approve the budget, the failure to pay RTK salaries, and refusing to ratify agreements for international benefits make them unelectable for most diaspora voters. Their attempts to blame current Prime Minister Albin Kurti for everything do not convince the diaspora.

Meanwhile, Vetëvendosje with Guxo and Alternativa, led by Prime Minister Albin Kurti, despite some concessions—especially to accommodate part of the opposition—have achieved major results in strengthening democracy, expanding sovereignty, preserving territorial integrity, and fortifying the state. The dismantling of parallel structures, the destruction of many Serbian gangs in northern Kosova, and the defeat of Serbian terrorist forces in Banjska are historic achievements.

Based on the contacts and information I have from all sides, I believe and hope that the diaspora, especially in America, together with voters in Kosova, will deliver a strong blow to the opposition parties in the December 28 elections so they wake up, change, and begin to work properly for the good of the people and the state. At this moment, they offer nothing good for Kosova. On the contrary, all facts show that voting for them is an unforgivable mistake that would make possible the return of Serbia to Kosova.

Dardanian Kosova cannot be turned back. The people of Kosova will not allow the freedom won with blood and countless sacrifices to be affected. Freedom is more valuable than personal, group or party interests, as well as unfair international pressures for geopolitical interests. The freedom and independence of the Republic of Kosovo is above all.
