By: Agron Demi
The issue of limited municipal powers to address major issues will not be mentioned during the local election campaigns, nor will the problem of bloated assemblies and misused budgets.
Today is the kick off of the election campaign for mayors in 38 municipalities and 1,002 representatives in municipal assemblies. A total of 204 candidates have entered the race for mayor. The party with the highest number of mayoral candidates is the Democratic Party of Kosovo, PDK, with candidates in 30 municipalities.
