Thaci VV MP: We set up who we sit with at the table, we never named Milosevic once or today

Kosovo President Hashim Thaci has said that Kosovo is home to all and that the Commission for Truth and Conciliance tries to do so. He has said that the final agreement is aimed at this. Thaci has said political and social consensus is needed for the final agreement with Serbia.

You will face Kosovo everywhere with questions why Serbia has not apologised, which is appropriate, you have to face questions about why EULEX, UNMIK, have convicted more Albanians, why no one has been convicted of massacres in Kosovo, and of course these questions should be answered”, he said, Periscopi.

By all the discussion that has been developed so far and the contacts we've had, the entire political spectrum agrees that it should be looked to the future, by integrations for NATO and the EU, rule of order and law, for multiethnic Kosovo, is therefore a broad consensus for internal reconciliation in Kosovo. Kosovo has the need for internal reconciliation, this Commission for truth and reconciliation. Kosovo cannot wait when Serbia is available. The message was encouraging to Ambassador Costnet, also to Switzerland's Ambassador Lebert, but the support given to all states in this process. I think Kosovo is doing what it would have to do, even though more than two decades have passed, but I think it is exemplary in the region. Apart from political consensus, an internal consensus for citizens is needed. We have declared earlier that Kosovo is home to all its citizens, but the only way to move forward is to open a new chapter, from conflict, hatred and hostility. That is what we are trying to make even more of the agreement that can be reached between Kosovo and Serbia. It is crucial that you go to maximum or completely politicisation of this process. You will face Kosovo all around with questions about why Serbia has not apologised, which is valid, you have to face questions about why EULEX, UNMIK, have convicted more Albanians, why no one has been convicted of massacres in Kosovo and of course these questions should be answered. It is full support seen by the US, from the EU there are still no concrete steps, but in the moral sense I know they will support it, how specifically they will move forward I don't know”, Thaci said.

Kosovo President Hashim Thaci has said that Kosovo and Serbia are close to signing the final agreement, which he says will bring peace and perspective to the entire Western Balkan region.

Thus, Thaci has spoken for the first time since his return from the United States, where he had meetings between him, the Serbian president and senior American officials, National Security Councillor Robert OyBrien and Ambassador Richard Green.

These comments he made at the conference Public Dialogue “en route to the Commission for Truth and Appliance in Kosovo”.

Kosovo is developing an important process. We are committed to reaching the permanent, peaceful agreement between Kosovo and Serbia. This agreement should bring recognition between our independent and sovereign countries and faster travel to Kosovo towards NATO and the EU. The Washington meeting two days ago, between the two presidents of Kosovo and Serbia, I believe it will be meeting a positive turn, initiated by President Trump and Ambassador Green for reaching the agreement in the near future. The meeting is good for the entire region, for opening up the Euro-Atlantic perspective for the Western Balkans, for a better life, for an economic development. Therefore, from Washington both Kosovo and Serbia should exploit and all parties that are interested in peace in the Balkans. It is of vital importance for the process of reaching the final agreement that both Kosovo and Serbia today have confidence in the US that the final agreement can be reached through them. Although we are talking about Kosovo and Serbia, also about the possibility of achieving peace among our countries, I am convinced that this agreement will affect the work of this Commission”, President Thaci has said. /Periscope.
