The speed of movement towards independence will depend on Kosovo demonstrating that it is capable of treating minorities well. We have not always seen that.

Drafting a constitution is only the first step. The constitution has to be granted legitimacy by open discussion and a fair, representative referendum.

Women are clear-headed, they are more creative and for this reason, sometimes, also more fragile.

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

I support the recommendations made by the International Crisis Group. The primary responsibility is for Kosovo Albanians to demonstrate that their treatment of minorities is adequate.

I met the Radicals and we liked each other reciprocally.

Albania has to demonstrate that it is willing to be a reliable partner in the international community.
