Berisha remembers the conversation between Azem Hajdari and Ibrahim Rugova: When does Kosovo-Albania unification take place?
The head of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, was today part of the scientific conference - Jubilee: "Dr. Ibrahim Rugova and state formation in Kosovo", held on the 80th anniversary of the birth of the historical President of Kosovo by the Institute of Southeast European Studies in Tirana.
During the speech, Berisha said that Ibrahim Rugova was the first to plant the idea of an independent Kosovo in the mind and heart of every Albanian.
He also remembers the conversation between Azem Hajdari and Ibrahim Rugova about the Kosovo-Albania union.
Berisha : We have had this fate. With all the problems and the endless series of setbacks, we have had, we have always produced, outstanding figures.
Many want to be compared to Skanderbeg, the standard, of course the eternal prince. But if the rifle and the pen, the pen and the rifle are the two main tools of man to make history, and if Skenderbeu did it with a sword, Ibrahim Rugova did it with his mind, he did it with a pen.
So today he would be 80 years old. It is not, but the truth is that he is among us and immortal by his work.
I said that I made that comparison at the beginning because he, the idea of a free Kosovo never died in Kosovo. Even during the empire, Kosovo managed to be one of the most important, sometimes even the most fatal parts of it.
Kosovo was the first to oppose the severing project of Albanian lands. Residents of Plava and Gucia, other residents. The League of Prizren was, without a doubt, a national union. But independent Kosovo was not a previous project, free Kosovo, Kosovo of Albania, these were the dreams of Albanians.
A man started or conceived in the minds of the Albanians of Kosovo, a new dream; Independent Kosovo. At the first meeting in February 1991, the late Azem Hajdari, who had nothing else in mind but Kosovo united with Albania, sat and sat and asked him. He said, what about the union? Later, Rugova told him, this time.
He planted this idea of an independent Kosovo in the mind and heart of
almost every Albanian in Kosovo.
