While talking about his meeting with Thaci, conversations with him and his past, Reinhardt writes that the conversations were quite good.
We're getting very good at this. Thaci tells me about his youth in the Drenica Valley. In the early 1990s, he had started his studies in Pristina. He became student leader, and with some friends he founded an armed student movement, which became an predecessor of the KLA. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison by the Milosevic regime, but he eventually managed to flee to Switzerland to continue his studies”.
Reinhardt recalls that setting up on the political scene, Thaci had arrived in early 1999 during the peaceful talks of Rambouillet.
It also attracted the attention of American Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, who enjoyed his presentation and who from that moment relied on it as a coming political force in Kosovo”.
We start talking about Kosovo status. It makes clear that the international community will not accept an independent and clean Albanian Kosovo. Thaci speaks of Kosovo's multiethnic future, promising that the remaining Serbs in Kosovo will not be expelled. I underline that financial assistance can only be provided through peaceful coexistence, which was accepted in whole by Thaci”, Reinhardt recalls the conversation with Thaci. /Lajmi.net/
