The head of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) branch in Mitrovica, Gëzim Plakolli, has raised doubts about a possible secret agreement between LDK leader Lumir Abdixhiku and the Vetëvendosje Movement. Plakolli expressed these doubts during an interview on the program “Five” on TV Dukagjini.
He criticized Abdixhiku’s meetings with people who, according to him, continue to support cooperation with the mayor of Mitrovica, Faton Peci. This is happening even though the LDK branch has decided to leave that coalition. The suspicion of a secret Abdixhiku-VV agreement, he said, requires an answer from the party leader.
The latter is meeting with people who do not stand behind the branch’s decision to leave the coalition. “You are meeting with the people who support Faton Peci’s coalition, despite the branch’s decision to leave the coalition. And that is why I am demanding an answer.
Is there a secret agreement between Chairman Abdixhiku and the Vetëvendosje Movement?” Plakolli stated. According to him, the situation becomes even more unclear precisely because of these meetings. They contradict the decision of the LDK branch in Mitrovica to leave the coalition with Peci.
Plakolli also recalled Abdixhiku’s stance during discussions on the presidential issue. According to him, the latter had criticized six LDK deputies who were not supporting the agreement. “When he was in talks about the president, six LDK deputies were against the agreement.
He named them and put all the blame on those deputies, why they are not standing behind the so-called decisions of the presidency, because there were no decisions there. And for eight months, since February, LDK people have not stood behind the branch’s decisions,” he stated. Speaking about developments within the Mitrovica branch, Plakolli said that during his three years at its head he has gone through five electoral processes.
These were three national election rounds, local elections and a runoff. However, he says he did not have the support promised by the party’s central level.
