Alliance for Albanians: Gostivar Is Returning to Full Normality

The Alliance for Albanians has announced that the situation in Gostivar is moving toward full normalization.

According to the Alliance for Albanians, the improvement is the result of the response by local and central institutions, the continued efforts of crisis teams at the local and central levels, as well as assistance from other municipalities, healthcare personnel, experts, companies and friends.

The party expressed its full support for Gostivar Mayor Valbon Limani, saying that he is managing the situation calmly, transparently and with a commitment to the safety and health of residents.

The Alliance for Albanians stressed that the disaster that struck Gostivar must not be turned into a tool for boosting political ratings.

According to the party, the severe situation the city went through cannot be used to score political points. It said that the events and residents’ concerns should not be exploited to build a political cause, boost ratings or run a party campaign.

The Alliance for Albanians added that it is easy to criticize from afar, while residents know and remember who stood by them during the most difficult days and who did not help even with a bottle of water, but limited themselves to public statements and accusations.

The statement also said that the relevant institutions must uncover every failure and establish responsibility in each case. However, the Alliance for Albanians called for the delicate situation in Gostivar not to be exploited to stir up tensions, promote victimhood or secure party-political gains.
