Musmurati has invited municipal representatives, civil servants, workers, and general citizens to participate in the demonstration. According to Musmurati, the purpose of the gathering extends beyond immediate concerns regarding the operational status of the Kosovo Parliament.
She expressed significant reservations about the current administration’s approach to local governance. Specifically, she voiced concerns that the government, led by Albin Kurti, is encroaching upon the established competencies of local municipalities, suggesting a trend toward centralizing decision-making processes.

The call for the protest underscores a desire from local authorities for a clearer delineation of powers between central and municipal levels. The mobilization aims to bring public attention to the perceived shift in governance structure, with Musmurati positioning the demonstration as a necessary public forum to address the relationship between local self-governance and the national government framework.
