Juda Balje: In Kosovo we feel at home

Kosovo Assembly MP from the Bosniak ranks Rasim Demiri on international day of this community has demanded that Kosovo and Bosnia co-operate and develop bilateral relations for a better life for the citizens of the two countries.

Coalition Chairman V AKAT, at today's solemn session, said that September 28th is important because Bosniaks have maintained their identity, tradition and culture.

Kosovo's <x0] Bosniaks have held their identity, and today they jealously preserve it because it is a privilege to belong to a people who have no spot in their history. This date is definitely the most important date of Bosniaks wherever they live. We've lived on these lands for centuries behind respecting the stranger and the honest of us, we've fought for the good of our homeland by bringing life to perfection between East and West. Without that date, we had hardly been able to say that we are Bosnians today. We have restored identity, tradition and culture, and our generation's obligation is to continue with such steps and to preserve what many people have wanted to disappear in history. As an active member of political life, our job is to call our partners in. Pristina and Sarajevo to co-operate and our bilateral relations to move forward with the goal of a better quality life for the citizens of the two countries... This is a message for all of us that the Bosniak community needs as much integration into economic life as possible. Republic of Kosovo because we are facing the great escape of our people. They're going to never come back, he said.

Meanwhile, MP Duda Balje said how equal communities want to build a Kosovo.

We've always been friends, this is our country, even before the war, during the war and after the war we've been here. We don't have another country, we feel like home here, we raise our kids here. Today, I will not talk about who the Bosniaks are, because I am absolutely convinced that there is no one in Kosovo who does not know who the Bosniaks are and what is the importance of Bosniaks in this state. I want us to live together as we have lived until today, to have your support, as the majority who are here. I want to be equal, together we build Kosovo, as it should, so that we are an example to other states as we are today. I want us to be strong, so we can make you stronger, and make our country stronger”, she said. /E. Zeqiri/
