We remember once again the start of a grand partnership of Kosovo with the West with its best friends, the 20th anniversary of the triumph of civilization over barbaria, the 20th anniversary of the start that a new era is rising over the pain of the past but does not prevent it from coming up with hope for the future”, the former Albanian president said.
