Time Kadrijaj, an elected deputy from the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), addressed concerns regarding substance use within Kosovo’s political sphere. Speaking on the program “DPT te Fidani” on Klan Kosova, Kadrijaj discussed her party’s initiative mandating drug testing for its deputies. During the interview, Kadrijaj disclosed that she personally underwent the required screening, confirming that her results were negative.
She asserted that substance consumption is incompatible with holding senior decision-making roles. “I think it is undignified for someone who consumes drugs to hold high-level decision-making positions,” Kadrijaj stated. She challenged other politicians to undergo the same scrutiny, noting that statistics indicate a rising pattern of substance abuse in Kosovo, particularly affecting younger demographics.
When directly questioned about the prevalence of drug use among political figures, the AAK deputy responded affirmatively. “I think yes, I think there are,” she stated. The comments position the drug screening as a measure aimed at maintaining integrity within the political body.
Kadrijaj emphasized that such vetting is necessary to ensure that those in positions of power are fit to serve the public interest. Her willingness to submit to the official test sets a precedent for accountability, suggesting that the standard for candidacy must include rigorous health and behavioral evaluations. The discussion centers on establishing clear parameters for who should occupy influential roles in Kosovo’s governance.
