Former senior members of the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), Fatmir Limaj and Jakup Krasniqi, yesterday officially launched their new political party called the Initiative for Kosovo. The party elected Limaj its leader while Krasniqi was appointed president of national council. Limaj called on the citizens of Kosovo to join the Initiative assuring them that his party will protect justice and democracy. “Kosovo needs new courage to change the governance,” he said.
It is not certain as yet who else will join Limaj and Krasniqi. Hydajet Hyseni and Flora Brovina, PDK MPs that have been rumoured to support the new party, did not attend the inaugural ceremony.
