Kurti: I highly appreciate Rugova, I didn't visit his grave just because the LDK's people asked me to insist.

He says it was the insistence of the LDK people that tied him to anger and not go to Rugova's grave.

I didn't go to the grave because the LDK people, who at least wanted to ask me, insisted that I go to his grave. That's a symbolic gesture I don't want to give artificial value to. The LDK people took this action that made it impossible for me to visit”, Kurti said.

Asked if this would make it a contribution to the coalition with LDK, Kurti answers:

I never say about such symbolic gestures. And when I die one day, let them not come to my grave; let them only work. We respect each other, not at the grave, but in life. Rugova has been insisting on freedom and independence. His consistency will remain highly appreciated./ P ERISCOPI/
