I thought for a long time about leaving Albania, but at the same time to play a role in its life.

Albania does not feel alone. It is part of the Partnership for Peace structures in NATO, and it will do what it can within that.

Albania is going through a deep crisis because it lacks the rule of law, an independent judiciary, and freedom of the media. I don't think if we stop protesting the problem is solved.

If we didn't have the Albanian entrepreneurial spirit and financial support from the diaspora, this stupid political class would have destroyed the country by now.

There a lot of occasions when Albanians cause trouble, but then we are also very nice people. People sometimes forget that there are good people from the Balkans as well.

Most of Albania considers this Government to be legitimate.

Kosovo is too close to Europe. It is not only close to Albania, it is close to Greece, Italy, Germany and Switzerland, where there are still many Kosovo refugees. Spontaneous reactions could multiply.

Albanians are a nation of freedom fighters who know something about living under oppression.

Kosovo is a small country but it also has a lot of riches that were granted to us by God.

We've become a country that is often risk averse. That's not the way to succeed.
