The paper’s editor Lavdim Hamidi recalls promises that new mayors of certain municipalities made before they took office and declares that not only did they not fulfill them but instead of focusing on problems their municipalities have, they are all busy campaigning for their own parties.

Some of them can even be seen on billboards across Kosovo although they are personally not running in these elections, adds Hamidi.

If these mayors felt any responsibility towards their electorate, they would not even show up in election rallies but would be working in making the lives of their citizens easier. In fact, their presence in rallies can have a boomerang effect and lead to the loss of votes.
