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.

We think that Kosovo will continue to serve as a centre of violence and regional instability in future.

The EU should have consolidated its different presences and purposes in Kosovo earlier.

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.

The different Ministries have to work more on the promotion of the country, to build Kosovo's public image. Concrete projects must be assembled, in order to activate our businessmen to have more contacts. We have to create a positive image about ourselves.

I never wanted an independent Bosnia. I wanted Yugoslavia. That is my country.

My vision is to have an independent Kosovo, democratic, with a politically tolerant society and with a solid economy, integrated into the EU, the NATO and to continue with our good relations with the USA.

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.

All sorts of artillery installations, rockets and tank units that are firing on civilians in Kosovo should be neutralized. If that means air strikes, then NATO should carry out air strikes.

I believe that ultimately the situation in Kosovo can only be resolved through self-determination.
