Kurti: When you have a bad neighbor, you need high morals and a loaded gun

The Self-Determination Movement held a pre-election rally in Podujevo, where the party leader and current Prime Minister Albin Kurti stated that with bad neighbors, "high morals and a loaded gun" are necessary.

In his speech, Kurti said that with the government led by Self-Determination, security throughout Kosovo, including the north, would be guaranteed.

"We have built a fence around every corner, we have doubled the budget for the army and police, and we have invested in training," Kurti said.

He pointed out that all municipalities "bordering Serbia" are led by mayors from the ranks of Self-Determination.

"The longest border with Serbia, of all the municipalities in Kosovo, is held by Podujevo, and it is good that we have Mayor Shpejtim Bulliqi from Self-Determination. And do you know why? The second municipality with the longest border with Serbia is Leposavic, where we have Mayor Lulzim Hetemi from Self-Determination. The third and fourth municipalities with the longest border with Serbia are Kamenica and Gnjilane, where we have Kadri Rahimaj and Alban Hiseni. Where we have a border with Serbia, the citizens have decided that the mayors should be from the ranks of Self-Determination. The people know well who defends Kosovo, municipality by municipality, from the genocidal aggressor state of Serbia," said Kurti.

He stated that it would be a problem if other parties were in power in the border municipalities.

He also noted that all "illegal structures of Serbia," one by one, "have disappeared forever by the force of law of an independent and democratic Kosovo."

"As they would say in Serbia, 'I understand'. With a bad neighbor, there is no 'I understand.' When you have bad neighbors, you must have high morals and a loaded gun", Kurti said.
