Vjosa Osmani is the most voted woman in the history of Kosovo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 2021 elections, she received over 300,000 votes as part of and leader of the Vet\u00ebvendosje list, representing GUXO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This came after Albin Kurti was not allowed to run due to legal issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The coalition with Vet\u00ebvendosje and the victory in these elections, with over 50 percent, also brought Osmani the position of state president in April of the same year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her political and professional relationship with the leader of Vet\u00ebvendosje had been close even before. In fact, since 2019, when LDK and VV reached a governance agreement following that year\u2019s elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Osmani herself acknowledged this when she became Speaker of the Assembly of the Republic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c…I have far fewer disagreements and many more shared positions with the current prime minister. I believe even the birds in the mountains know this, so\u2026,\u201d she said at a joint meeting with Kurti on May 18, 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knowing this relationship, Osmani became popular, favored, and largely positively discussed on social media, especially among those who supported Kurti and Vet\u00ebvendosje.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the situation has drastically changed in recent days, when Osmani issued a decree to dissolve the Assembly after it failed to elect a new president by March 5, the constitutional deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kurti\u2019s supporters saw this action by the acting president as a betrayal. As a result, they responded with harsh comments on almost every post of hers. The same happened when Osmani posted a photo with Rifat Jashari on March 6, for the Kosovo Liberation Army Epopee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTraitors don\u2019t deserve to go to that place,\u201d commented Dini Kryeziu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bashkim Namani appeared even harsher:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou bite off more than you chew\u2026 don\u2019t go to the memorial at the legendary Adem Jashari family cemetery, because for a chair you sell the sovereignty of the republic and yourself, no votes for you,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anuar Asllan Syla was critical and somewhat offensive:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou should be ashamed, traitor, you got deceived\u00a0by that house in\u00a0Marigona, greedy and envious,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Osmani\u2019s decree also angered and disappointed Adem Binaj:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou were so shameless, like a Skopje Fox! I removed all the likes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yetta Luka said she was disappointed with Osmani:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom Hero to Zero, what a disappointment, poor you for yourself,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A profile named \u201cMitro Meriton\u201d chose to copy a similar expression to that of former U.S. Ambassador to Kosovo, Tracey Jacobson:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor God\u2019s sake, you\u2019ve screwed it up\u201d he wrote, while Jacobson had told Kosovo politicians \u201cdon’t screw up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many commenters saw Osmani\u2019s decree as part of a plan to overthrow Kurti, allegedly \u201corchestrated\u201d by Richard Grenell from the U.S., Edi Rama from Albania, and Aleksandar Vucic from Serbia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe end of her political career through collaboration with Edi Ramoviq. Forbidden, may the votes go elsewhere,\u201d wrote Artison Balaj.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnyone connected with Rama, friend of Vucic, will surely face a big fiasco, and you, Madam President, unfortunately joined Edi Rama\u2019s dance and will face consequences,\u201d commented Berat Opss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rauf Suma compared Osmani\u2019s future to that of an opposition politician who resigned months ago:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFinally you showed yourself weak, Vjosa Osmani. You approached EDI Rama and Grenelli, now Memli Krasniqi\u2019s fate awaits you,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A commenter with a name very similar to former PDK chairman Meli Krasniqi Nako admitted he is no longer with Osmani but will always be with Kurti:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUnfollowed you, Vjosa Osmani. You betrayed us too. Always with Albin Kurti,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nehat Miftari gave Osmani a harsh label:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSold out of the year 2026,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Albulena Ibraj Krasniqi accused the president of thinking more about herself than the people when she issued the decree:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou threw away the people\u2019s vote into the trash, meaning you don\u2019t care about the people at all, failure,\u201d she commented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enver Rramanaj is convinced Osmani has nothing more to seek in politics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou are a corrupt pawn, your career is over,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
