I appeal to all political subjects that support the presidential candidates directly or indirectly and with their acts and statements not to cause heated ambiance during the preelection campaign, but to have an appropriate level of political culture in their mutual communication i.e. the communication among each other and with the citizens” said Xhaferi at the regular briefing with the journalists.
