Kurt for Eliot Engel: He recognised Kosovo's historic right to state

I believe the only solution for Kosovo is independence. Let me say Kosovo, because 90 percent of the people living there say to Kosovo. Kosovo Albanians will never be treated well under Serbia”, Engel quoted him as saying during a presentation on the Committee for International Relations in 1999.

Kurt stressed that Engel had remained stable in this attitude over the years.

“Mic and Albanian supporter did not hesitate to raise voice for human rights and position himself on the right side of history. Albania's friend and supporter did not hesitate to raise the voice for human rights and position himself on the right side of history. Sincere interest in Kosovo's future was at the centre of our meetings that we have had starting with him from the first meeting in 1997 to New York”, Kurti said
