Poliçan Mayor answers questions about Blood Feuds Phenomenon

Author: admin 3 August 2015

In the mail box, Operazione Colomba volunteers have found a pleasant surprise: the first answer to the questions asked the Albanian Mayors. Poliçan Mayor’s answer is welcome.

In the frame of the campaign “A crowd against blood feuds”, in fact, we have sent a short questionnaire to all the Albanian Mayors elected on June 2015.  The aim is to direct their attention on the topic of Blood Feuds Phenomenon and to invite them to elaborate a strategy in order to fight and eliminate the phenomenon. Poliçan Mayor, Mr. Adriatik Zotkaj, has been the first mayor we received the answer from.

The questionnaire asked:

– How much is widespread the Blood Feuds Phenomenon in Your municipality?
– Which kind of measures would You like to adopt in order to face and eliminate the phenomenon?
– How do You think to pressure the Government to make sure it will implement the Law n. 9389/05? The one that provides for the establishment of a Coordination Council in order to fight against the Blood Feuds Phenomenon?

The mayor answers

Mr. Adriatik Zotkaj, as Poliçan Mayor answers with one single sentence:

“In the Poliçan municipality, until now, there has been no case of blood feud”.

We deeply thank Poliçan Mayor, Mr. Adriatik Zotkaj, for his kind answer. We will compare his statement with our database. In the meanwhile, we would like to re-extend the invitation to answer all the questions of the questionnaire. Particularly, it would be important to answer the third question about the Law n. 9389/05.
