I was prompted by a statement from my friend, Ambassador Phil Costnett, to give some clarification regarding Mrs. Atifete Jahjaga as president of the Republic of Kosovo.

For one thing, President Atifete Jahjaga has served Kosovo with dignity and honor.

As for clarification, the election of President Jahjaga was not the product of any “zarfi”. “Zarfi” did not exist at all.

No one has lobbied or exerted any pressure on Kosovo political leaders to choose Mrs. Yahyaga.

During my experience of more than two decades in Kosovo politics, I have tried it in my skin and I have been familiar with the presence of international pressure (special court, Association Agreement, Demarket with Montenegro and so forth). The election of President Jahjaga has not been one of these cases.

Following the circulation of numerous names of potential candidates for the country's president, Mrs. Jahjaga was the only person the parties involved could agree to without any pressure.

Although only 35 years old, Mrs. Jahjaga that world was the Kosovo Police Deputy Director with the rank General-Underpolnel (the highest market among women in South-East Europe) and an exemplary career in public service.

Mrs. Jahjaga accepted the political parties' request to save Kosovo from a stalemate because he understood it as calling for office to the homeland.

Eventually, Mrs. Jahjaga has been voted in the Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo by 80 votes.

It would be nice to have Mrs. Jahjaga gave recognition due to excellent service as the first woman's president, not only in Kosovo, but in all Southeast Europe.
