Peci stated that Rama has no right to represent either him or Mitrovica, accusing him of trying to present himself as the opposition leader.
“Not in my name or Mitrovica’s, Përparim!” Peci wrote.
He also dismissed claims that the municipalities had suffered damage amounting to hundreds of millions of euros. According to Peci, no one has been summoned for an interview or to provide explanations in connection with the matter.
“I understand your tendency to play the role of opposition leader vis-à-vis the government, but I have no understanding for your tendency to speak on behalf of all municipal mayors, let alone Mitrovica,” he said.
Peci added that the damage to the public and civic interest, as well as to interinstitutional cooperation, was being caused by the efforts of several municipalities to oppose the government.
“Those who allegedly caused €334 million in damage (if you are referring to the collective agreement) are right there at the table, but you do not know the institutional and political context in the country, and for this damage amounting to hundreds of millions of euros, no one has been invited either for an interview or to provide an explanation,” Peci wrote.
