Kurti in Kuka: NATO, KSF advocate Kosovo sovereignty

Kosovo's ethnic cleansing, the murders of children, women, men and elderly ones, but also the violations, persecutions, burns and forced expulsions could not be answered other than the intervention of NATO, which was listed not only with the people of Kosovo but also with the right side of human history.

So it was said at the special session of the Kosovo Assembly for marking the 23rd anniversary of NATO's intervention in Kosovo, where it was stressed that this intervention was also support for the KLA's road to freedom.

The hearing began with a minute of silence in honour of former State Secretary Madeleine Albright. Meanwhile, it was said to be the main driving force for halting genocide that was being done by the Serbian state over the people of Kosovo. A video of Albright was also released during his addresses regarding the fate of our people, and also the commander of the commander. NATO, General Wesley Clark through an address to the people of Kosovo, saying that on this date in 1999, NATO entered Kosovo and changed the history of Kosovo and Europe.

“has been given hope and light all over the world. But I am very proud of all of you in Kosovo for the democratisation you've done, for the challenging economic development you've undertaken, and especially grateful for the extraordinary friendship you have shown to the United States. It was an honor to be the commander of NATO and having the opportunity to help prevent ethnic cleansing”, he said, adding that 23 years ago they did the right thing for Kosovo, NATO and the world.

While Prime Minister Albin Kurti said 23 years ago, 19 NATO nations joined to stop the genocide that the Belgrade regime had launched in Kosovo.

According to him, intervention was fair and necessary because the regime did not understand another language.

We still have over 1600 people down during the war, 12,000 unarmed civilians were killed, over 10 percent of them children, and there is still no justice for all these atrocities. 23 years after the end of the war, our northern neighbour neither seeks forgiveness nor wants to understand and accept the extent of his crimes in Kosovo. Instead of opening state archives that could light up the fate of those missing by violence and reveal the executions of crimes, Serbia's rulers reason Milosevic's genocide actions and blame NATO for the bombing. Following Russian aggression in Ukraine, together with Russia, they are misinterpreting NATO's intervention in Kosovo, alluding to the similarities of cases as attempts to justify impresion and their hegemonistic aspirations. NATO intervened in Kosovo for humanitarian purposes and reasons to save a people from extinction. It was legitimate intervention because Milosevic did not express willingness to meet the requirements and obligations stemming from resolutions adopted in the UN, nor did he give up military operations and the policy of ethnic cleansing in Kosovo “, Kurti said.

He added that the KLA's war awareness the international community to intervene in Kosovo. Kurt stopped by a statement by former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, who had said it is vital to understand that even if the humanitarian crisis is averted, the political crisis remains and can only be chosen by dialogue, which, according to him, was right.

Prime Minister Kurti said Kosovo does not want war but is attentive and is listed with NATO.

“Where is NATO, where you have NATO, were some of the most repeated phrases by Serbian soldiers and police officers during their deportation and revenge massacres on Albanians in Kosovo in the spring of 1999. NATO is here in Kosovo for our security, along with KSF's girls and boys, ready to defend the country's sovereignty at any eventual risk or violation... Today bearers of that political heritage continue to guide Serbia, along with their intentions towards Kosovo and their ties to Russia. At this point Kosovo remains strongly linked to the United States and its allies, while maximumising NATO membership efforts“, he said.

On behalf of the Vetevendosje Movement parliamentary group, Mimoza Kusari-Lila said this day tells us that the intervention of NATO gave support to the KLA's fair fight.

Today's “brings us many memories and makes the weight of preserving peace and the price of freedom, which was paid by Albanians over decades. This day also marks the KLA era in Glodjan, Dukagjin. This day also tells us that the intervention of NATO gave support to the KLA's fair war on freedom “, she said.

PDK parliamentary group chief Abelard Tahiri in this session said today they remember the sacrifice of our people and NATO intervention, which ended the Serbian genocide in Kosovo. According to him, the fair fight of the KLA, which caused the most powerful alliance in the world to decide on the values of Western civilisation, peace and democracy.

The date without the KLA cannot be understood, without its leaders as President Hashim Thaci, Kadri Veslein, Jakup Krasniqi and Rexhep Selimi of the many KLA protagonists who transferred its foundation -- that is, this foundation and the continuation of the road to Kosovo's liberation -- makes the trust of hundreds fallen for freedom “, he said.

Lumir Abdixhiku, on behalf of the LDK, said Kosovo's ethnic cleansing, killings and violations could not be answered except that of NATO.

“Kosovo's ethnic cleansing, killing children, women, men and elderly people indiscriminately. Systemic violence throughout Kosovo, persecutions, burns, and forced expulsions could receive no answers other than such intervention. Therefore, March 24 is a line-up not only with the people of Kosovo, it is a line-up with the right side of human history“, he said.

And on behalf of multiethnic deputies, MP Fidan Dilika also spoke.
