British Ambassador to Kosovo, Ian Cliff, said today that parliamentary elections were free and fair. Asked about the LDK-AAK-Nisma coalition, Cliff was quoted as saying, “Kosovar political parties need to talk and agree; this is not our matter because we do not interfere in the process”.
The British Ambassador made these remarks after meeting Gjilan mayor Lutfi Haziri, with whom he discussed economic development in Gjilan, the development of the infrastructure, international donations and the integration of all communities.
Haziri, a senior official of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), said political parties reached and signed the agreement. “We did not need international mediation despite the very important role of Quint countries. The agreement was reached with respect to the Constitution. The LDK made a civic offer to get Kosovo out of the crisis. The LDK has been making painful compromises for 15 years now,” Haziri added.
