I built Kosovo for 10 years.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Kosovo is a small country but it also has a lot of riches that were granted to us by God.
My second job has been to try to use my power to create institutions of a modern state that could enter the European Union, and there was very little time. The door was closing, and I wanted to get Bosnia through before it shut.
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.
I had my life threatened by Bosnian Serbs on numerous occasions.
Maybe if I was born in Kosovo, I might not be where I am now, so I need to thank Switzerland, of course, because I went to school there, learnt to play football there, and started my career there.
I don't really remember much about Kosovo. I only remember growing up in London, where my parents had to basically start from scratch.
I tried to go to Kosovo to establish a statue to commemorate those who died during the wars, and to discuss moving on, so we could move into a new era. But I was banned from there.
Imagine a part of the U.S.A., from which the U.S.A. started - where is the cradle of your history? This is Kosovo for Serbia.
For 10 years, Kosovo was taboo. No one could officially tell the truth.
