Vlora Çitaku, an elected deputy of the PDK, issued a statement criticizing the actions of the acting Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, regarding extended wait times experienced by expatriates at international border crossings. Çitaku emphasized that the primary concern for citizens is practical assistance rather than ideological discourse. The core of her criticism focused on the lack of visible governmental intervention concerning the prolonged delays at the border points with neighboring countries.
Çitaku suggested that appropriate measures would have involved direct diplomatic engagement, such as contacting authorities in Zagreb and Podgorica, coordinating governmental efforts, and deploying the Minister of Foreign Affairs to mediate the situation. According to Çitaku, the Prime Minister’s response was misdirected. She noted that Kurti chose to address the expatriates with commentary concerning “Germans and Russians,” a focus she deemed inappropriate for the immediate crisis.
Çitaku asserted that the expatriates require concrete state action rather than political lectures. She questioned the government’s priorities, suggesting that the administration was either failing to adequately support its own citizens or operating under a misunderstanding of geopolitical realities. The deputy concluded by stressing that the immediate need is for the state to demonstrate effective management of border issues.
The statement thus serves as a direct challenge to the government’s handling of cross-border citizen services, suggesting a shift from rhetoric to tangible operational support.
