The paper writes that the leadership of Rahovec municipality is in trouble now with the fact that it has to start implementation of the law on Hoça e Madhe which it fervently opposed or risk losing international donations. This was the reason behind the recent visit of officials from USAID, OSCE and European Commission who asked Rahovec Mayor Smajl Latifi to make haste in beginning the implementation of the law. Several internationally-funded projects have been put on hold until he does so.
“We were indirectly told that they wish to see progress with regards to implementation of the law on Hoça e Madhe so that we can continue to be strong partners in implementation of many projects,” Latifi told the paper.
