Jakup Krasniqi’s son: This is not a political issue, but an issue of a people

The Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) MP Altin Krasniqi has joined the protesters who are standing outside the Kosovo Assembly building.

Krasniqi said today’s developments should not be treated as a clash between political parties, but as an issue that, according to him, affects all citizens.

“This is not a political issue, it is not an issue of one party, it is an issue of a people”, Krasniqi said.

He criticised the way the protest was responded to, describing it as excessive and brutal towards citizens.

“Therefore, this issue should not be turned into something else and this protest should not be fought today in this brutal way against citizens”, the PDK MP said.

Krasniqi asked for the issue to be returned to the Assembly and for MPs to take part in the session to vote on the law.

“We must be in the Assembly, not turn it into a political issue; we must be in the Assembly, vote on the law and proceed with other issues”, he declared.

The PDK MP also called for a proportional response by the Police towards the protesters, stressing that the protest is taking place peacefully.

“The protesters are holding a peaceful protest, so I think the police response should also be proportional”, Krasniqi declared, as Telegrafi reports.
