Political career

In 2017, Molliqaj ran on the general elections in Kosovo as a deputy for the Self-Determination Movement (Levizja Vetëvendosje!) and won a seat on the Fifth Legislation as the sixth most voted candidate in Kosovo. Shortly after he won the seat, he changed the party and continued his political career in PSD. During his mandate, he proposed two resolutions between the Republic of Kosovo and the Republic of Albania: one for the removal of the roaming services and another for removing the border checkpoints between the two states. Both resolutions were voted by the majority in the Republic of Kosovo parliament. [3]
