In this interview, Clark has said that Thaci and the others were very enthusiastic and very determined about the country's future.
He's been saying that you can't create a new country if you're not ready to fight and die for him.
Very enthusiastic were, very determined. You can't create a new country unless you're ready to fight and die for it. In Syria in 2010, 2011, 12 or 2013...

You can stay in Paris, eating cappuccino-drinking crustaceans and being able to command what happens. They just didn't go, didn't risk it. As a result, Harald is in power”, Clark said.
The following is his full interview.
