Leaders of Muslim, Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, and Jewish religions came together in Kosovo today to demonstrate a spirit of religious tolerance and coexistence. They also called on political leaders to take their example in finding common grounds and not fear compromises. In the second annual conference of interreligious dialogue organised by OSCE, religious leaders expressed their concern over the lack of law on religious communities.

Head of OSCE mission in Kosovo, Jean-Claude Schlumberger, said the conference offers an opportunity to send a powerful message of tolerance and promotion of dialogue between all communities and people in Kosovo. He said that for the first time, women are also represented in the conference and that this is a significant step forward.
