Hyseni tells how Rugova insisted on independence at first meeting with US Secretary of State

He has described Ibrahim Rugova's figure as an incarnation of a rare scholar and a bold intellectual.

Subsequently, Father Zef Plumi Ibrahim Rugova has marked the Albanian century. During the last century, Albanians have had numerous great personalities, but none such as Ibrahim Rugova”.

No one with any particular emphasis as Ibrheim Rugova had. It was the incarnation of a rare and strong scholar, a modern politician and visionary and very accurate prognosis. It was the incarnation of a man who was absolutely consistent and consistent in his Kosovo projections of independent and sovereign state. He protected this consistance and persistence with a tenderness that distinguished Ibrahim Rugova from anyone else”.

There was no opponent in attitudes that would hold resentment to Ibrahim Rugova why he insisted on something different”.

Hyseni in the Kosovo Clan Zone has remembered President Ibrahim Rugova's first meeting with US Secretary of State Warren Christopher in 1995.

I have to remember the first official meeting of Kosovo President-elect Ibrheim Rugova with US Secretary of State Warren Christopher November-November 1995”.

There was a time when the US State Department dominated the idea of extensive autonomy for Kosovo or, as it was called a property autonomy. The meeting was excellent, because anyone who met Rugova except for intent on exchanging political views was also a curiosity that went beyond that Rugova as pacifist, the Balkan Gandhi and all the epithets the world had given to”.

“Takim ran into the extreme friendly atmosphere, but in the insistence of Secretary Christopher that Kosovo could gain an enhanced autonomy, President Rugova told naught this is not the solution to the Kosovo issue. It's an independent and neutral Kosovo, but we agree on a several-year transition period of an international protectorate. Then, the people of Kosovo should be asked in the referendum what they want.

“In this conclusion of President Rugova, Secretary Christopher again spoke and mentioned a range of reasons for the then political context why it was difficult to make Kosovo independent”.

“Srik Rugova turned to the same with all understanding and respect, and said “No solution works in Kosovo except full independence. If you can't support this solution, we can become the 51st state of the United States, he told him half a joke and a laugh broke out here. But at this meeting, he was repeatedly reinforced with a consistency that marked him with soft, understanding words that we must walk in the direction of the country's independence”.
