Should have more patience and faith - American says and adds that the changes are always slow , but the wheels of history can not be reversed , and that the entire region is already started down the road of no return - the way of democratic change and integration in Europe .
He tells me to see the larger view and see how the whole Balkan is changing our world . Only one hundred years since the fall of the Ottoman Empire , the Eastern European countries are there somewhere , more or less , on the eve of the European Union , which means that we finally passed the historic Rubicon dividing us from the West .
Then ask me to look at what happens not only in Kosovo , but also in the neighborhood.
And adds : "Nothing is as it was . Who would have said a few years ago that Hashim Thaci and Ivica Dacic will sit at the same table , will put the past behind him and talk about the future . "
I sounded this example not very convincing , so my American friend mentioned the recent electoral success of Milo Djukanovic , as an even better example of how progressive forces are winning the political battle in the Balkans !
Yes , I say - even here in Kosovo people are happy for the victory of Milos , since appreciate a man who has brought historic change in relations between Albanians and Montenegrins . Always remember that he was in charge of Montenegro , which opened its doors to refugees during the 1999 bombing and helped the Kosovo Albanian population to survive perhaps the worst moments in the history of the last century . We appreciate as the man who opposed Milosevic , the regime and its policy when the few who dare to do , so the righteous one is for the destruction of that policy . If that is the righteous one though Montenegro - despite all circumstances - recognized Kosovo as an independent state .
- We have entered into debt in Kosovo Albanians - say American friend , adding that we and our leaders were unable to turn that debt in the last 13 years of war , and that , in some moments , we allowed Montenegrins in Kosovo terrible things to happen so it is also the last time Kosovo Montenegro render so that Montenegrins would give constitutional and legal position as an indigenous community , independent of the Serb community , and to provide all individual and collective rights that belong to them as such .
