NUSHI AND OTHERS THE DISTORTION AND DAMAGE OF THE DEMOCRATIC[?] In our country, dedication to, development of, and experience of democratic processes is built on the foundations of a high human and social morality. On 12 April 1992, at the conclusion of the elections, our people clearly expressed their will for change and for building a new democratic life. This requires responsibility, calm, and respect for the law from everyone. In preparing this work, there are also phenomena of distortion, misunderstanding, and haste. Therefore, it is necessary for everyone to observe civic norms and not harm the democratic processes under way.

In Kosovo, during the discussion about the political situation and recent developments, the delegates have expressed their positions on the situation and the future. The statement highlights the need for unity, for the protection of national rights, and for a peaceful solution to the issue.

“That is why I gave you my vote...” (I) - Not everywhere should one begin with the magic slogan, - The whole of Kosovo has been in a conscious state regarding its duties, - The sympathies and hatreds of voters have gone to unjustifiable extremes, - Parliament must first of all prove itself.
