The Office of the President of Kosovo, Atifete Jahjaga, issued a reaction saying that today’s actions by opposition MPs were against democracy. “President Jahjaga calls on all members of the Kosovo Assembly to distance themselves from violence, to respect institutions that have been built with tremendous effort and sacrifice, including the personal sacrifice of the MPs. Conceptual and political disagreements must be discussed with the force of arguments and within the parliamentarian democracy … The people of Kosovo expect their elected representatives, both in government and in the opposition, to promote the processes for the consolidation of the Republic of Kosovo and to not turn them [the people] into spectators of tensions, crises and blockades that prevent Kosovo’s progress and threaten the well-being of the citizens,” the reaction noted.
