He said that SHIK structures have great influence in Post and Telecommunication of Kosovo, Trepça, regional water supply companies. It is believed that they also have extended their influence on Radio and Television of Kosovo, Rexhepi added.
Certain and confident about what he was stating, Bajram Rexhepi said that the great evil of his party happened the moment that Veseli became PDK’s deputy chairperson, although, according to him, Veseli even earlier had his influence on the party.
Rexhepi also spoke about 2014 March riots at the time that he was Prime Minister of Kosovo, stating that the groups of extreme Islam were also among the protesters, who provoked riots, and even shot with Kalashnikov guns.
Rexhepi said that PDK chairperson Hashim Thaçi is not on the same side with SHIK, while he announced that he will leave PDK the moment that Kadri Veseli will become its chairperson.
