Kosovo's destiny is clearly to join the European Union at some point.

I was on leave from local and regional politics, as long as I was a Minister.

The knowledge of languages was very useful. I have a university degree in foreign languages and literature.

I was thrown into the Parliament right away. From 1976 to 1978 I was concerned with the abortion issue, later on with that of divorce.

My mother was a regular church-goer and was very tolerant.

My mother's studies stopped with the third year of primary school, my father with the first. They taught me a deep sense of duty. But nobody was involved in politics in my family.

I thought there had to be something I could do because it seemed crazy that, in addition to the psychological tragedy each woman has to face, came also all the rest.
