Isa Mustafa has spoken for the first time about the LDK assembly that will be held on Saturday.
The former leader of the LDK has said that the LDK has potential and that it does not need new divisions.
“Dear friends
I have received many requests from various media outlets to comment on current developments in the LDK. I have tried not to get involved with opinions on issues of the election results, in debates about resignations or who should and should not be at the head of the LDK, considering that responsibility for the result is an ethical issue, not a matter of testing and licensing. That this is resolved in the decision-making bodies of the LDK; not in the statements of any branch, of any sympathizer, non-sympathizer or of any empty debutante about who should and should not leave the LDK. In the LDK, problems can least be resolved with fanfare, therefore such forms of propaganda deform democracy and can make the called assembly an arena of divisions, which the LDK does not need, which has not yet recovered from such an assembly twenty years ago.
LDK does not deserve epitaphs. Those who love it must love it with full confidence that LDK has potential, has a self-regulating force and can rise again as a strong political entity, which ensures balance in the democratic construction of the state of Kosovo. They must understand that LDK stands before any specific name; that apart from its historical leader Ibrahim Rugova, LDK is not identified with any specific name.
The Assembly as the highest body of the Democratic League of Kosovo should ensure that the LDK is neither an old nor a new party, but a party that develops on the basis established 36 years ago with its founding act as a conservative center-right party with an unwavering Euro-Atlantic orientation. The LDK needs to reconfirm that its political battle is not an auction of who gives the most, but a bid on how to build a promising, strong and stable state. That the LDK cannot be used as a platform on which something else will be built by exploiting its name.
Reforms in the LDK make people who have remained loyal to the LDK open to new arrivals and new people. The LDK does not need divisions into us and them; the old and the young; mine and those before me. It needs to think about forms and mechanisms that bring in as many members, supporters and voters as possible. Meanwhile, responsibility in the LDK should be treated as a normal standard of democratic ethics that implies that the result has consequences.
“The Assembly can find the best solution by assessing what is beneficial for the growth and progress of the LDK, for strengthening its internal unity, for providing activists, because no one in the LDK is superfluous,” Mustafa writes on Facebook.9plusfun/
