With 12 days left until the presidential election, Rron Gjinovci, in a column published in Gazeta Express, proposes a figure who, in his opinion, is suitable for this position. He is talking about Justina Shiroka-Pula.
He analyzes that "VV should give up, give up on the existing candidates. PDK should give up on the idea of being given blank power, meaning that they can come up with two candidates at their own discretion."
Gjinovci believes that the position of president requires a person "with intellectual formation, culture, knowledge, weight in public appearances and the ability to represent the state with dignity."
Prnadaj, he says that "Justina Shiroka-Pula. Former minister in one of Hashim Thaçi's governments, former PDK MP, professor of Economics at the University of Pristina and today president of the Academy of Sciences. She is one of those figures who combine institutional experience with intellectual weight. She comes from a rare generation of Albanian women who were the first to earn a doctorate in Yugoslavia, built a genuine academic career, and remains one of the few professors of her generation who justifies her academic title and academic career with scientific work."
He predicts that "VV can hardly have any strong reservations towards her, because she is not a conflictual figure and is known more for her correctness, institutional culture and collaborative energy. PDK, on the other hand, would restore her reputation and for the first time would offer us stability in an institution. So, it is a name that does not humiliate either party, but gives both a dignified way out. And precisely for this reason it is a serious proposal: because it does not come as a candidacy of political ego, but as a promise for the restoration of the institution that in the last two mandates has suffered from the egos and political ambitions of its bearers."
