On the other hand, he noted that LVV acted alone against several opposition forces, referring here to the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), the Democratic Party (PDK), and the Alliance of the Future of Kosovo (AAK).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we need more time to make a deeper analysis. My first impression is that Vetevendosje has become more distinguished for its engagement on a national level and voters comprehend well its position and shape and how it approaches national themes. Meanwhile, on a national level, we\u2019ve had few actors hence the connection with the citizens has been brief\u201d, said Abazi.<\/p>\n<p>He also spoke over an agreement between the two opposition parties, LDK and PDK, which helped to defeat LVV in Prishtina and Prizren.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPrizren won Prishtina and Prishtina won Prizren by forming a coalition among old parties which yielded that minimal difference that at the end brought victory\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<p>The representative of Vetevendosje said that politicians should take notes from the elections, firstly by presenting better candidates, referring to the outcome of the elections in Gjilan, where the youngest candidate defeated Lutfi Haziri, the incumbent mayor from the Democratic League of Kosovo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/kosovo\/2021\/11\/14\/live-results-ldk-and-pdk-win-5-municipalities-vv-secures-4-victories\/\">Kosovo runoff election results: LDK and PDK win 5 municipalities, VV secures 4 victories<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/programs\/shock\/2021\/11\/15\/andi-bushati-on-kosovos-runoff-elections-these-were-not-the-traditional-voters-of-vetevendosje\/\">Andi Bushati on Kosovo\u2019s runoff elections: These were not the traditional voters of Vetevendosje<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/kosovo\/2021\/11\/15\/kurti-congratulates-new-mayors-on-their-win-says-that-he-will-be-checking-on-them\/\">Kurti congratulates new mayors on their win, but \u2018will be checking on them\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The chair of the parliamentary committee on foreign affairs Haki Abazi listed two factors behind the loss of Vetevendosje (LVV) at the local elections.
