He said he's very happy he's met him several times.
It was an inspiration and mentor to me. During my meeting in Rambouille as a new diplomat, I told Rugova's adviser to give me a stone. He said I didn't know you loved them so much and so he gave me a rock. I at the Embassy today have a stone from President Rugova”, the US ambassador said.
I represent the generation of American diplomats. We learned a lot from former American diplomats, but we've learned a lot from President Ibrahim Rugova. From Ibrahim Rugova we have learned how to take a principled, challenging stance and find solutions. Rugova was simple, always principled and pragmatic leader”, Ambassador Havenier said in front of those present. Hovenier said Rugova knew better than anyone else the importance of reporting with the allies.
