The Raka family faced a tragedy this morning after their 24-year-old daughter, Rea, lost her life in a single-vehicle accident in Komoran. The incident occurred in the morning as the family was returning from Tirana Airport.

Three other family members were also seriously injured in the accident and were transported for treatment to the University Clinical Center of Kosovo.

UCCK has released details about their condition and treatment.

The injured were initially admitted to the Emergency Department. After the necessary examinations were carried out, one female patient was taken to the Emergency Center operating room, where the procedure was performed by the Abdominal Surgery, Urology and Anesthesiology teams.

After the operation was completed, the patient was transferred to the Intensive Care Unit, where she is continuing to receive treatment.

The other two injured people sustained serious bodily injuries but are currently in stable condition. One is receiving treatment at the Thoracic Clinic, while the other has been hospitalized in the Orthopedics Clinic.

In the official response to Rtv21, the Specialist Chambers emphasizes that it is the single judge who decides on the measure of detention, based on legal provisions and the rules in force. It is also announced that he will pronounce the decision at an appropriate time, accompanied by the relevant reasoning.

Among the other conditions proposed by the defense, it is emphasized that Thaçi will not be allowed to leave the borders of Kosovo and will be obliged to surrender his passport and any other travel document.

Furthermore, it is stipulated that he will not make any public comment, either directly or indirectly, in traditional media or social platforms. Also, he will not be allowed to discuss the content of his case file with persons outside a defined group of members of the legal defense team.

This position marks a shift from the party’s earlier statements. Months ago, the LDK had insisted that the post of president should be entrusted to a non-partisan and unifying figure, whereas now it is linking support for the creation of institutions to the election of one of its own candidates to this position.

In the June 7 elections, the Democratic League of Kosovo had run with Vjosa Osmani for president, presenting her as a figure who could unite the political spectrum.

Blerim Sinani, an LDK member and candidate for MP from this party, believes that talks on the distribution of institutional responsibilities should not be interpreted as placing party interests above those of the state.

He says political agreements are common practice in a democratic system, especially when no party has the numbers to govern alone. According to him, the goal should not be merely to break the political deadlock, but to build stable and functional institutions.

“I think the question is built on an assumption with which I do not agree. I do not believe that discussing institutional responsibilities means placing party interests ahead of state interests.

When no party has the votes to govern on its own, agreements are a normal part of democracy. Naturally, in those talks the responsibilities each side will take on are also discussed.

For me, the state interest is not simply to create institutions just to get through the situation. The state interest is to create institutions that last, that function, and that have a serious agreement behind them. If an agreement serves this purpose, then it also serves the state,” Sinani told “Bota sot”.

LDK deputy leader Lutfi Haziri has said that the 18 MPs of this party can vote in a unified manner only if the candidate for president comes from LDK’s ranks.

The question raised is whether this is a shift from the party’s previous position, or a new political situation that has brought about a different approach.

Regarding this development, in a statement to “Bota sot,” professor Nijazi Halili said that Haziri’s latest statement brings back into focus a familiar practice in Kosovo politics: the exchange of institutional posts to secure a parliamentary majority.

“The latest statements by LDK deputy leader Lutfi Haziri, regarding the possibility that LDK could offer its 18 votes in the Assembly of Kosovo as part of a possible agreement with the Vetëvendosje Movement, in exchange for the post of President, bring back to the center of attention a practice that is already well known in Kosovar politics: the exchange of institutional positions to secure parliamentary majorities.

From a political point of view, this approach is not new to the culture of coalitions in Kosovo. However, it creates a clear tension with LDK’s earlier public discourse, which has repeatedly emphasized the need for a consensual, above-party and unifying president.”

According to Halili, this way of acting is not new in the country’s coalition culture, but at the same time it harms LDK because of the change in its political approach.

He also stressed that LDK’s aim of taking the post of president shows a shift from the concept of a neutral state figure toward an openly partisan candidacy.

On this aspect, the professor elaborated further on the change in this party’s principled position.

“Haziri’s statement, according to which LDK’s votes would be unified only if the candidate for president comes from the party’s own ranks, while also mentioning names such as Lumir Abdixhiku or himself, shifts the emphasis from the idea of a neutral state figure toward a clearly partisan candidacy.

This approach creates the perception of a change in principled stance: from the demand for a non-partisan president as an institutional standard, to a political positioning that conditions support on direct party representation in the highest state post.

In this sense, it can be said that LDK has not completely abandoned the idea of a unifying president, but has reformulated it in line with realpolitik and the new balances in the Assembly of Kosovo.”

In conclusion, he assessed that LDK’s latest statements on the post of president speak more of a tactical political move than of an ideological change.

“In conclusion, this positioning appears more like a tactical approach of the moment than a deep ideological change, reflecting the usual dynamics of political negotiations in a parliamentary system where compromise remains the main instrument of institutional functioning,” Nijazi Halili concluded for “Bota sot.”

Immediately after the incident, firefighting teams, police and medical teams responded to the scene and managed to contain the fire.

As a result of this incident, two citizens were injured, including a child, while three firefighters were also injured during the intervention.

The director of Kosovo’s Emergency Clinic, Naser Syla, announced that the child’s condition is stable.

“The patient was treated at the Emergency Clinic and, due to injuries (burns) from the fire, will be transferred to Plastic Surgery. The patient’s condition is stable,” Naser Syla said briefly.
