Faton Peci: Protest by Several Mayors Has a Political Agenda

Mitrovica Mayor Faton Peci has reacted to the protest announced by several mayors, saying that it is not related to citizens’ concerns but to political interests.

According to Peci, interinstitutional issues should be addressed through dialogue rather than protests. He also stressed that hundreds of millions of euros in municipalities’ financial obligations do not belong to Albin Kurti’s government, but to previous PAN governments.

In his reaction, Peci wrote:

“Today’s protest by several mayors is not about citizens’ concerns, but about a political deal-making agenda.

I oppose a protest driven by a political agenda.

Interinstitutional communication should be resolved through dialogue. This initiative, through which several mayors have announced their participation in a protest against the government, is entirely political and does not contribute to improving services for citizens.

The hundreds of millions of euros in municipalities’ financial burden are not obligations of Albin Kurti’s government, but obligations of the PAN government.”
