Pristina Mayor Përparim Rama has publicly criticized government officials, alleging a shift in their stance regarding the annual Sunny Hill festival. Rama stated on Facebook that officials who previously attempted to block the event five years ago have since begun praising and celebrating its success. In his post, Rama contrasted the past opposition with the current support, noting, “For this Sunny Hill, five years ago you didn’t have a single tool without using it to block it.
You even had me declared harmful. Today, for the same festival, you are praising and celebrating it.”
The criticism centers on the plot located in Bërnica e Poshtme, for which the municipality had issued a decision granting long-term use. Rama’s comments suggest that the official narrative surrounding the festival has undergone a significant reversal.
The allegations imply that the opposition faced by the Sunny Hill festival has evolved considerably. According to Rama, the initial efforts to impede the festival were comprehensive, suggesting a concerted effort to prevent it from taking place. This contrasts sharply with the current environment, where the festival is reportedly being lauded.
The dispute highlights ongoing political disagreements concerning local development and cultural events within Pristina.
