Goal of DACI: Reversionary in the top of politic in KOSOVO
How Nexhat Daci arrived for short time to lose chances to be heir of president Rugova? How do we define the political carrier of Nexhat Daci from 2001-2006? What he wants to arrive in 17 November 2007 elections?
If someone will ask politic analysis in Kosovo where it was known in September of 2006 that president Rugova suffer from incurable illness, who will substitute him and who will be the one that will lead Kosovo and LDK party, so Nexhat Daci was the leader of Kosovo Assembly will be a big favorite.
Nexhat Daci a silently politician of 90’s (he was not active in the first decade of LDK essence). Just after first election after the war in 2000 he was one of the selected from Dr. Rugova.
However academic Nexhat Daci became the most famous name in LDK beyond Ibrahim Rugova from 2001-2006 when he leaded the Assembly of Kosovo.
Daci changes sufficiently often political roles when he was leading a Kosovo Assembly from the open opponent of PDK leaders (especially Hashim Thaqi), to politician that will valuate that they must contribute in softening the difference between “peace parties” and “war parties” including the role in approaching of LDK and AAK to continue than special collaboration with Hashim Thaqi to fix up relations between government and opposite. However the way that he leaded the meetings is the Assembly of Kosovo became topic of the continuing debate of the local and international analysis.
After president Rugova died there was a politic collapse it was the time that politic parties used this politic condition to criticize LDK especially Nexhat Daci who was favorite one to lead Kosovo after Ibrahim Rugova.
So at this time he was accused for corruption and after other parties accused him including his own party LDK he degraded from the leading Assembly. However he survived well this period when he was degraded and in this time Daci who was very discontent with those things he and other delegates secede from LDK and create a new politic party called LDD (Democratic League of Kosova).
Now his key goal is to gain the reputation and to win these elections, to get back to the Assembly of Kosovo and to get back in LDK.

Homework due Thursday 15 November.
I have to mention the difficulty of this task, our articles, speeches; interviews in our newspapers are not hard to translate in English. Political party that I have researched does not have relevance in articles so I have to change it with another. I will use an article from “LAJM” a daily newspaper. This article is about Hashim Thaqi in elections campaign in Ferizaj and Vitia.Article name is “Thaqi: PDK-ja u shëndrrua në levizje”
In English (PDK has been replaced from a party in a movement”
Unknown words: parti ideologjike,levizje,kontekst,trendeve bashkohore,binjakzimit.
I have translated these words after I use a vocabulary:
Ideological party, movement, contest, modern trends, union
My letter to editor.
Dear Mr. / Ms.
-I have read your article very carefully and I think that your newspaper have done a great job during this elections. I hope you will write another article when definitions such modern trends and union in that contest will be explained. Also explain the idea of PDK and Hashim Thaqi that are trying to change their fundamental concepts and to make a rotation from an ideological party to a movement against this kind of government.
Sincerely

A part of speech of Hashim Thaçi during compaing
…………“The European Community knows how are the “key people” to lead Kosovo community forward.So the only thing they should do
is to have an “Amnesty” to escape from they duties on post offices.
“Politic passion” is to have a bigger knowledge to lead and the people know about that.The “boring rhetorical”, “public distance”
and “amortizating” with people wishes.People know what are they wishes,what they want to change,what they want to make deferent.
So I call to all of them to research how is the “crucial personality”
I defend what is need to be defended,so I think is clear what should you do”………………

Dear Mr./Ms.
I have read your article of November 15, 2007 called Daci’s Advices.I’m dissapointed with you because you don’t tell the voter’s the ideas and programm of this party,but you tell them a old balkanik demagogy of critizing the other’s.I know that your newspaper was very professional during this election’s,but I’m noty happy with this mistake,that is present in all daily newspaper’s here in Kosova.I hope in the futer you will make changes in this context.

I have take a article from daily newspaper World today (Bota Sot) from November 12 with the title “LDK again first one –say Mr. Eqrem Kryeziu (LDK perseri e para –thote zoteri Eqrem Kryeziu
Unknown words :sondazhet ,llogaridhenie ,propaganda,dogmatik,skeptik, parti ideologjike ,dinjitet politik
And after I use the vocabulary I translate those words:
Test probe, account giving , dogmatic, skeptic, ideological party, political dignity.
Dear Mr ,ms
After reading your interview with mr Eqrem Kryeziu under-president of LDK ,I thought to write o short comment for it. First I think it will be better if you will ask him why the don’t believe in lasts test probes when is known that after dr.Rugova died LDK is separated and cause of that they lost to much votes. It will be necessary to explain that for who is thinking when he use those words: ideological party , dogmatic people, unreasonable propaganda etc. Also to explain more about his skepticism about the possibility of having all compressive coalition after the election. And in the end does he will act as a dignity political and to resignation if LDK doesn’t win the 40 % of votes.
Best regards Granit Tërnava

Hi Michelle,
For this assignment, you may find my homework posted in my blog. Thank you
Donika,
I know that there was some confusion about this assignment, but don't feel like you wasted your time. Translation is a good exercise, too!
Muhamet:
A good letter to the editor, since you found something very specific to comment on.
A few suggestions: You often use ['s] when you should use only [s].
Instead of using "have + particple", try the simple past. Using the active voice gives your writing more power.
During a research for AAK i founded this article in your newspaper.I have found some erors.I have see that you don’t tell the date of the press conference.Your article is more quotation as a analyse or news.
I hope that you next time will be more carefully with such article’s,because with this text you can have influence to the voter’s.
Hi Brikena,
This is a good start for a letter to the editor. to develop this further, you could have an OPINION about something in the article, and in your letter argue for your opinion.
Shaban,
This is a fine start on a letter to the editor. Something to remember: a letter to the editor appears many days after the original article. It would help, therfore, to briefly summarize what the article was about. Then give specific examples from the article about what you agreed/disagreed with.
Muhamet,
The Daci's advice article is a stroner letter to the editor. nice work!
Hi Medison,
Lots of people misunderstood this assignment. It wasn't a translation homework, but don't feel like you wasted your time. Translation is an important skill.
I have a few questions.
The European Community knows how are the “key people” to lead Kosovo community forward.So the only thing they should do
is to have an “Amnesty” to escape from
[they duties on post offices. I DON't UNDERSTAND THIS.]
[“Politic passion” is to have a bigger knowledge to lead and the people know about that.The “boring rhetorical”, “public distance”
and “amortizating” with people wishes. I DON't UnDERSTAND THIS TRANSLATION]
People know what are they wishes,what they want to change,what they want to make deferent.
So I call to all of them to research how is the “crucial personality”
I defend what is need to be defended,so I think is clear what should you do”………………
Hi Granit,
What I like about your letter to the editor is that you have read the article critically, and you have some strong opinion. It would help if you described the interview and gave some context about the interview.
There are some problems with the following sentences. I [ ] the parts that were unclear.
It will be necessary to explain [that for who is thinking] when he use those words: ideological party , dogmatic people, unreasonable propaganda etc.
Also to explain more about his skepticism about the possibility of having all [compressive coalition after the election.]
Hello again, Medison. The letter to the editor you wrote is okay, but the assignment was to respond to an article. Think of it another way. The request you made would be stronger if you gave the magazine a sample of your writing!
