French ambassador shows what example Kosovo, Serbia can take for reconciliation

Agreement, says Ambassador Chamber, is a process that continues and never stops.

I'd say that between France and Germany reconciliation is not a thing done, it still goes on, we have a exchange among young people, scholarships, joint training for young people, and for 50 years we were more than 8 million people from both countries who used the means of exchange programs for young people. But there's one thing that never stops. Compliance is ongoing. So, what can be the lesson learned from regional reconciliation between France and Germany initially dialogue -- complete dialogue” -- he said.

Co-operation among young people, according to Chambert, is an opportunity to start understanding and overcome the past.

The “may have exceeded past time and a real reconciliation and the reason why there have recently been initiatives called the Berlin Process, as it started in Berlin which led to a new initiative in the Balkans called RYCO”.

According to Chambert, of vital importance is that the Berlin Initiative also serves Kosovo and Serbia, so that co-operation between the civil society and the youth of the two countries is as big as possible.

Just like that, he says, reconciliation can happen.

“So I think that political reconciliation and dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia can bring unified status but behind the back of this dialogue can also be done between civil society, because if left, neither civil society can understand what is going on between reconciliation and the” dialogue, he stressed.

German diplomat Christian Heldt, in Rubik's KTV, spoke of the office of German youth, which, according to him, has managed to unite youth and talk about their prejudices.

Heldt, calling that memory healing process, highlights the importance that both states, the German and the French, have dedicated to the issue.

But to do what we call the memory healing process today, this is more precisely what the Franco-German youth office today has achieved to unite young people to talk about their prejudices and discover that others are not what we thought they were. They are human beings, Europeans, European citizens, which brings us back to the fundamental saying, some foreign powers don't really understand the spirit of the European Union, it's not about free trade, or customs, but it's about the spirit of European citizenship, because if you really look at history, you see that you can't define anything according to a typical concept of a nation, but it's about a much larger legacy that we share with each other<1>, Heldt said.
