Hamza: I have no objections to Sejdiu, but the agreement on him was between LVV and LDK

The chairman of the Democratic Party of Kosovo, Bedri Hamza, has stated that he has no problem with the name of Bekim Sejdiu as a candidate for President of Kosovo, but stressed that his candidacy was part of an agreement between Lëvizja Vetëvendosje and the Democratic League of Kosovo.

At a media conference, Hamza said that the PDK was not part of this agreement and that the issue of electing the president should not be linked to the approval of the Law on the Specialist Chambers.

“It is not an agreement with the PDK, it is an agreement with another political entity, but it is an agreement with the LDK. I have no objections, neither personal nor political, in relation to Sejdiu,” Hamza said.

He called on LVV and LDK that, if they have an agreement on Sejdiu’s candidacy, they should implement it and secure the necessary votes in the Assembly.

“If you have an agreement with the LDK, do it. If I ask you for 10 deputies, then 11; and I too, if I ask you for 29. But bring the deputies to the chamber and let them vote however they will,” Hamza expressed himself.

Speaking about the Law on the Specialist Chambers, the head of the PDK said that his party is ready for the deputies to take part in the vote, emphasizing that each of them can vote for, against or abstain.

“If you want to make the law, bring the 29 deputies. If they want, let them vote for, against or abstain, as they wish,” he said.

Hamza also criticised the delays in the constitution of the Assembly, saying that the constitutional deadlines have been violated.

“For 37 days it has violated the Constitution by not constituting the Assembly,” he stated.

According to Hamza, the PDK proceeded the Law on the Specialist Chambers to the Assembly on September 21 and does not accept that in the last hours this issue be linked to the agreement on the president.

“On September 21 we brought the law to the Assembly and today, in the last hours, you cannot impose the agreement. They are not interrelated issues. We are asking to make the law,” Hamza concluded, as Telegrafi reports.
