Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, has written that the mayor of Leposaviq, Lulzim Hetemi, receives an average of ten different requests from many parties every day for him to leave his office.

Kurti, shows that he is the brother of the KLA martyr, Fatima Hetemi and thanked Lulëzim Hetemi for his exemplary resistance for the Republic of Kosovo, law and order.

“Some take it better, some not better, and some both of these one after the other. Lulzim Hetemi is the brother of the martyr Fatima Hetemi (who died heroically as a KLA soldier together with Fehmi and Xhevë Lladrovci on September 22, 1998). I thank President Lulzim from the bottom of my heart for his exemplary endurance for the Republic of Kosovo, law and order”, wrote Kurti.

Lulezim Hetemi has been in his office in the Municipality of Leposaviq since Friday, May 26.

Tensions in the north inhabited by a majority of Serbs started on May 26, after the new mayors, with the assistance of Kosovo Police, entered the municipal buildings. Serbian citizens in Zveçan, Leposaviq and Zubin Potok also protested on May 29 to oppose the entry of the new Albanian mayors into the municipal buildings.

Their revolt turned into a violent clash with members of the NATO mission, KFOR, on May 29.
