PDK-elected Deputy Vlora Çitaku issued a critique regarding the difficulties faced by emigrants attempting to cross international borders. She addressed the protracted waiting times experienced by citizens at the borders of neighboring countries, criticizing the approach taken by the acting Prime Minister, Albin Kurti. Çitaku noted that rather than coordinating with relevant authorities in cities such as Zagreb and Podgorica, or dispatching the Minister of Foreign Affairs to resolve the logistical issues, Kurti instead addressed the emigrants with commentary concerning “Germans and Russians.” The Deputy emphasized that the population requires practical state functionality rather than ideological discourse.
She suggested that the government’s actions indicated either poor treatment of its own citizens or a detachment from reality. The criticism extended to public discourse, with Çitaku implying that certain narratives, perhaps emanating from the court or political circles, were misleading. She stated that the current focus on rhetoric, rather than concrete border solutions, was problematic.
Çitaku asserted that emigrants need a functional state apparatus, not abstract pronouncements. Her comments suggested a significant gap between the government’s public messaging and the lived reality of citizens navigating complex border procedures. The core of her argument centered on the discrepancy between the perceived political messaging—which she characterized as telling tales—and the immediate, tangible needs of the populace waiting at the borders.
