The President of Kosovo, Hashim Thaci, said Kosovo leadership has always been ready for political solution with Serbia.
According to Thaci Serbia does not want to end disagreements however Kosovo was and is ready for historic agreement.
Thaci made these statements during “Scenarios of the big finale between Kosovo and Serbia” conference, organized by RIDEA and supported by the Norwegian Embassy.
He said that twenty years have passed from the liberation war, nineteen from the Rambouillet Peaceful Conference and ten from the declaration of independence of Kosovo, seven from the start of the discussions in Brussels, while relations between Kosovo and Serbia are still not concluded politically.
“In all the international processes which aimed solution of Kosovo’s case, Kosovo leadership has been ready for political agreement with Serbia. Tens of years have were wasted in the past, not because of our fault or responsibility, many good chances, due to the lack of political will of the Serbian leadership to conclude political and historical hostility between Kosovo and Serbia, which are older than one century,” Thaci said.
He said that even during the difficult years of war, and those of peace and democracy building in Kosovo, we have been ready for the great historic agreement with Serbia.
“This readiness was not present in Serbia,” he added.
“Conclusion of the political dialogue with Serbia, with legally binding agreement, is Kosovo’s national interest, which does not recognize division lines between government and opposition. We have to be united in this process in order to close this difficult, tragic and historic chapter, and in order to open way to Kosovo to be an equal state with all the other states in UN, EU and NATO Alliance, everywhere,” Thaci said.
