Koalicioni i Organizatave Shqiptaro Amerikane nga Mali i Zi
STATEMENT
August 10, 2020 Dear compatriots,
We, the representatives of the Coalition of Albanian Community Organizations in America, originally
from Montenegro, based on our commitments during the last two weeks, we give this statement: 1. As you know, we initially engaged and called for an agreement in order to
all Albanian Parties and Organizations in Montenegro to join in a single list for
the upcoming parliamentary elections in Montenegro. Based on success and results
positive of the merger of the Albanian entities for the Municipality of Malësi - Tuz last year, we had convincing reasons that this is the best way that as a united subject of
we are stronger and thus protect our interests for a better future
Albanians in Montenegro. Unfortunately, this did not happen. But this should not stop us
our work and commitments for a better development, for the Albanian political subject to be united and supported by our voters. Although our wishes did not come true,
the coalition formed in Guci a few days ago is hopeful that we will continue
try and work for a union of the political subject with the support of the electorate
Albanian.
2. Although we may have had reasons to position ourselves and support one of
two lists, this time we won't do it. The main reason for this is that we
we continue to be a force for unity and not for division. But we wait, and we ask that everyone Albanian political subjects adhere to democratic principles and be available
to present their platform of ideas and plans for their achievement.
3. For these reasons, we appeal to the entire Albanian electorate, our brothers and sisters
in the homeland, vote wisely, vote with the heart and vote only for the subject
Albanian politician. As we all know, Montenegrin political entities, such as DPS, have been
successful in penetrating our ranks and using partnership with individuals
different to advance their agenda. This is by no means an inclusive agenda
a better tomorrow for Albanians in Montenegro. Therefore, your vote for other subjects
political as for DPS, it is a vote against self, against our good. Don't
we miss this historical moment that together, even though divided into two lists, by voting
the Albanian political entity, we can ensure a more worthy representation in the parliament
Montenegrin. In the last two or three days, we have also seen various statements which say that we are choosing sides and with this we are damaging the democratic process. Such words stink but our work and our commitments will speak loud and clear that we are a force
for unity and a better future for our people.
This is our time to realize our dreams and aspirations and once again show them
our political leadership that there will be a price to pay if their personal interest
continues to be above our national interests. We demand responsibility for the trust that voters have decide on you. Let's leave what separated us and let this be a new beginning! As we continue prepare for the next elections, we promise that a significant number of voters from diaspora will be with you, to vote with you, to vote for our future, win and
we rejoice together. We promise to be with you in the future, during the good times
and difficult, just as we are ready to be with you even in this time of crisis with the pandemic
Covid-19. We will always stand with you. This is only the beginning of our commitment, not only with words, but also with deeds that promises opportunities for economic developments from which it will we all benefit. Together, let's vote for the Albanian political entity, for a better future good and more promising. VOTE WITH YOUR HEART, VOTE FOR THE FUTURE, VOTE FOR THE ALBANIAN LISTS Respectfully submitted by,
