Three days sleepless in the days of independence, order of First President of the Republic

So says Fatmir Sejdiu, the first president of the Republic of Kosovo.

And as one of those who signed this seal of the country's independence, Sejdiu in an exclusive interview for gold.info has confessed the moments of that historic day for Kosovo.

“Pika at its peak for Kosovo and Albanians worldwide. For the Albanian world at the beginning of the new century, which resulted from the sacrifice of many generations. We have been privileged to be closing this chapter by attending the solemn session of the Kosovo Assembly. For us, it has been an event that we have prepared so long to do properly. I have been fortunate to lead the “Unit” team to complete all the possibilities of a dialogue needed with the Republic of Serbia to enter other processes”.

Sejdiu, who was also the leader of the group of UNIX0>, in talks with Serbia at that time, has confessed that he has been unable to sleep for days trying to get everything right on the day of independence.

That day has been evidence that Kosovo and its citizens are willing to enter into other major challenges. On that day, we have the great joy, personally two or three nights before, almost a little sleep, because of the worries and emotions that I've had after how it will turn out and how it will work properly. And, secondly, because of a moment that hasn't been experienced by many generations and we had the destiny of being the closing of this moment in view of also the special care for the security aspect behind Kosovo's appointed institutions”, Sejdiu informs us of the arena.info.

February 17th for Sejdiu is the date that separates the country's two different eras.

“is a date that cannot be forgotten, it is a date that makes the separation of two important ages. The first is the first period of independence which is painful, bloody, of sacrifice. And the post-independence era meaning our efforts to make a functioning state properly, to fulfill the expectations of the country's citizens and the trust of those who have fallen for Kosovo, and to reveal our identity as European”.

And after 13 years, the first president of the Republic says that much work must be done to take up lost time.

According to him, young people are the ones who should be part of important projects on the European market.

Kosovo has the chance itself to do this job, because there are many factors that it has from God, from nature, the first has a substantial wealth in the sense of mineral riches that are very valuable and are rare, I talk about Trepca for League and other complexities. Second, there is an extraordinary land with a suitable climate. And, third, there is a generation of people, well educated youth, who have the opportunity to offer projects and to be competitors in important projects on the European market”.

Sejdiu estimates that it is the responsibility of institutions that health, education, the economy, rule of the law give “provime” consistently.

“We are not without worries we are not without many challenges that can be met in further walking, but I think we have the capacity to do a good work”, says Republic of Kosovo President Fatmir Sejdiu.

And when we are the successes of Kosovo over the years, President Sejdiu says the best message in the international arena for the work of the people of Kosovo is Do, Rita, Majlinda, Nora, Shaqiri and Jaka.

Kosovo's “has become but it needs Albanians to do much to exalt its name and provide a real demonstration of our ambitions, of our real identity.

And there's, as you can see, good stories in some areas, to suppose we're proud of the songs of the Doce Rita, of the leading sportsmen like Majlinda and Nora. These are good messages, and that means that Kosovo people can do great jobs. We're a numerically distributed people around the world, but we can collect our energy to do big jobs”
