The Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) and NISMA have joined forces for the upcoming parliamentary elections.
Both of these parties today formalized their pre-election coalition, to which they said that other political entities or initiatives in the country can also join.
In a press conference after the meeting of the AAK General Council, the leader of this party, Ramush Haradinaj, said that the citizens of the country have remained unrepresented and fought by the Kurti Government.
He said that the Kosovo budget is “being kept in a bunker” by the Kurti Government and that it is not invested in the citizens, and for this reason AAK and NISMA have chosen to join forces to change this situation.
NISMA President Fatmir Limaj said that Kosovo more than ever needs the unification of all political forces, which want to see the development of the country in a different way. He also pointed out that their eternal orientation is European integration and NATO.
Haradinaj has also responded to the statements of the speaker of parliament Glauk Konjufca, according to which the race for the first place in the next elections is certain and that the race will be tough for the second place, thus alluding to the serial victory of Vetëvendosje in power.
