Reactions of political actors

Ms. Osmani's statement has provoked numerous reactions. LDK leader, Isa Mustafa has reacted by saying that Osmani says that she is a completely irresponsible exerciser of the post of president. He emphasizes that the President should have defended the Judgment of the Constitutional Court, defended the implementation of the law and defended the independent institutions. According to him, Osmani is abusing the position he holds in support of the interests of LVV. "It is an alarm for democracy and the state of Kosovo. "With this behavior, Osmani does not deserve even an hour to be in the Presidency", he continued. Even the party led by Mustafa, the party to which Mrs. Osmani previously belonged, has made an official statement on this issue. The headquarters of the Democratic League of Kosovo held a press conference where the spokesperson of the election headquarters, Ardita Dushi said that such things should not happen again. "Yesterday the CEC was threatened. This is an independent institution that must not be threatened, it has been threatened by those who must ensure its independent functioning. It is a constitutional violation. The first is interference in the work of the CEC and the second, an attempt to favor a political group. The state must be respected in its entirety. The state is a state and must be preserved because it is sacred. We owe this to the generations who have sacrificed for the state. "We owe this to future generations, who must inherit a democratic state," she said. The first is interference in the work of the CEC and the second, an attempt to favor a political group.

Reagon PDK

Reagim për deklaratën e presidentes ka ardhur edhe nga PDK. Zëdhënësi Avni Bytyqi, ka akuzuar Osmanin se po sulmon Komisionin Qendror Zgjedhor. “Vjosa Osmani në stilin e Trumpit, është duke zhvilluar sulmin ndaj KQZ-së. E natyrshme, nuk mundet ajo të mbroj një institucion kur vet është pjesë e orkestrimit”, shkroi Bytyqi në Facebook. Ndërkohë një reagim pro ka ardhur nga kandidatja për deputete nga lista “Guxo”, Donika Gërvalla, e cila tha se Osmani tha mesazh të fuqishëm dhe të urtë drejtuar qytetarëve të Kosovës. “Askush mos të mendojë që do të mund ta rrezikojë procesin zgjedhor edhe pse përpjekjet për ta arritur këtë janë të shumta dhe të tejdukshme. Mustafa me deklaratat e tij, të cilat përveç përfaqësuesve të disa mediave nuk i dëgjon bash askush, as PDK-ja me pseudospecialistët e saj që irritojnë publikun me pseudoekspertizat e tyre të gabuara”, tha ajo. Sakaq një deklaratë e KQZ-së bën me dije se do të veprohet në përputhje me vendimet e Panelit Zgjedhor për Ankesa dhe Parashtresa dhe Gjykatës Supreme, lidhur me ankesat e subjekteve politike për mos certifikimin e listës së kandidatëve të tyre.
