The first of the LDK, Isa Mustafa, at the memorial academy in the 13th anniversary of the death of former Kosovo president, Ibrahim Rugova has talked about relations with the US, including the gift Rugova then held in his pocket to donate the former US president.

Mustafa has spoken of Rugova, calling him the wisest and consistent leader who has had political schemes, remembering and 2006 when the former president passed away.

“13 years ago Kosovo triumphantly bid farewell to its president, to once again confirm the belief of leader Ibrahim Rugova in the wisest and consistent man who has had political and institutional schemes of the country. In January 2006, the president left us when we needed much to crown Kosovo's historic process of independence, but he did not just leave us with his great work and the foundation of the independent state with his philosophy of humanity, of peace and tolerance. During the two weeks of mourning, citizens showed unprecedented honour and love for their great leader, President Rugova, last greeting him”, Mustafa said.

He spoke with admiration for the resistance of Albanians in Kosovo, for their entrepreneurial spirit, for students, for educators working in private schools and homes, for doctors. He was filled with faith and hope that we'll take the lead. She held a Trepca Crystal wrapped in a simple letter to give to the president of the United States as a sign to Kosovo, calmly said that with this country we planted our hopes, I have the full confidence that America will support us and support us make our country. It happened like our president said,”, he said.

According to Mustafa, The LDK is still working to realise the priorities Rugova had predicted.
