Kurt with a few words for Walker: Reporting for KLA provided NATO assistance

Kurti, during his speech, said Ambassador Walker remains the good friend of Kosovo's difficult times who, with his reporting, provided us with help from NATO.

In difficult historical times, just as in times of personal crisis a good friend can be the necessary salvation even when you do not have a good friend are the hard times that can bring about such a one. In our traditions a good friend is a very important and respected figure that is honored up to invulnerability according to our Albanian custom code of hospitality, which is our overemphasized value”, Kurti said.

Kurti, among other things, says Ambassador Walker with his reports changed the international perception of the KLA's liberation fight.

“in 1998, Ambassador William Walker came to Kosovo at the head of O'S Verifering Commission The SEU to see whether Serbian forces were acting in accordance with the UN's October agreement to withdraw the armed forces and implement the ceasefire. This mission for Kosovo was easily verifiable by the orange-coloured cars with which the 700 members of this” commission moved.

The “in the KLA's early beginnings, being not well-known for its KLA goals and technicians, was considered terrorist and extremist. And it was exactly the verifiator commission of O The SEU, which with ground reports on developments in Kosovo, would help change the international perception of the KLA and provide NATO assistance”, Kurti said.
