"Adem Jashari was trained in Albania by LDK", Berisha: Rugova was the

The chairman of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, participated in the conference for the 80th anniversary of the birth of the historical President of Kosovo. The Institute of Southeast European Studies organized today the scientific conference - Jubilee: "Dr. Ibrahim Rugova and state formation in Kosovo".

During his speech, Ibrahim Rugova was unique in his kind, both a politician and a missionary, and those who did not recognize Rugova as such were very mistaken. 'Rugova it was difficult to tell which Rugova predominates. Predominates Rugova missionary, or Rugova president, politician' - said Berisha. But according to Berisha, independent Kosovo was an idea that Ibrahim Rugova planted in the minds of almost all Kosovar Albanians.

Berisha : Rugova was the builder of Kosovo's independence, he was its builder.
Of course, his peaceful project had certain limits and its realization without war was impossible.
Historians will bring out the truth, because he here in his ministry of defense that had, that ministry here military exercises. Yes. And as far as Adem Jashari is considered, the founder of the KLA, the truth is that Adem Jashari, not once, but maybe 2-3 times, was trained in Albania under the direction of the Kosovo government.
However, those who fought have the extraordinary, historical merit. They pushed forward the project of independence. They made it possible for the North Atlantic Alliance to undertake the biggest attack after the second world war, for the freedom and rights of Albanians.
After the war, the Albanians in Kosovo again, in all the elections, voted for Rugova and the LDK.
In great confidence, a CNN journalist asks him, in the Albanian camp in Macedonia, why do you want this, a peasant with a cell; we love him, he says, that he is civilized.
In fact he was civilized. That Ibrahim Rugova imposed himself with his civility.
In this context, it was a major fact, the main guarantee for a democratic Kosovo, a Kosovo of equal citizens before the law.
No one could be like him, president of Albanians, Serbs, Montenegrins, Bosniaks, Roma and all the citizens living in Kosovo.
And no one could question his credentials.
The efforts for Kosovo not to be independent, and were very strong, always clashed with the Rugova factor, which was a guarantor of a free, independent state.
They never managed to issue a single charge in this regard.
They didn't want independence after the war, let's be realistic, they wanted the USA and they did it, but Europe was very shaken, unfortunately.
At first I went towards it, then there was an unreasonable stoppage of that idea, and they started the same as during the independence of Albania, why two Islamic states, while we were secular states, at a time when we ourselves did not want to be two states, but they forced us to be two states, but he stayed and turned into one of the main factors of the world's faith, for a free, independent Kosovo.
Therefore, I will close my speech with a deep gratitude for the immortal work of Ibrahim Rugova.
I am greeting him here, his close friend his close friend, and my friend the president Fatmir Sejdiu and all those present, Mr. Nesho and all those present for this conference dedicated to an unrepeatable genius in Albanian politics as he was, Ibrahim Rugova
