Murati: From today's position, I see Rambouille signing as inevitable process

Murati said that at the time, this movement estimated that the document was harmful to Kosovo, so it should not be signed.

And if you take and read the document, it's bad, so if that document were implemented, Kosovo would remain part of what the Yugoslav state could be, and from that analysis that we did and from the information we had was an harmful deal. When I returned to Llap, I was also in position, I was also part of the command, chief of the moral and political sector, later elected as chairman of the LKCK in January 1999. It was the first time someone was elected head of the LKCK and was public. My family was in Pristina, I was 24 years old... Agim Kuleta, Istref Klonaku two vice-presidents, we became the first public figures and really in that document where we go against Rambouille, is my signature. We believed at that time that we should continue the war, mobilize, etc.”, Murati said in Klan Kosova.

Among other things, he says that from today's position, the signing of the Rambouillet Agreement by the Kosovo side views it as inevitable, while saying this agreement appears to have been a kind of trap for Serbia.

“Perhaps even not being part of that process, we have not considered the whole dimension of what was going on, because if we see this agreement today, if we see even the part of the anx of security, it seems to have been a trap for Milosevic and Serbia not to accept it, especially the military part, because the political part they accepted, although they came with a scandalous draft for Serbia, the military was problematic, to enter NATO, to have access to the barracks, etc., and that was the end of sovereignty for Serbia. If we analyze it, it seems that it was a kind of trap to reject it, so in this context I think that our delegation against the positions I had at the time, there was no other way even because the situation on the ground has been difficult and the development of war has been problematic if we were to isolate”, said Former Chairman of the National Movement for Kosovo Liberation, Valon Murati.
