Today’s victory is not only the victory of the LDK, it is the victory of the whole of Kosovo, of the hope of the great national renaissance, and with this victory I mean that there are no losers at all. Progress Rama is the president of every citizen of Pristina, both those who voted for us and those who did not vote for us. We are too few to be divided and divided”, Lumir Abdixhiku, Head of LDK.
“Today is the victory of all citizens of the capital, today is the victory of all of Kosovo. Prishtina showed that it wants development, Prishtina showed that it does not want deadlock. We move forward to the right of development, we say no to sabotage”, said Përparim Rama, LDK candidate for Pristina.
