The President of the Republic, Bajram Begaj, gave a message on the 25th anniversary of the launch of the NATO operation to liberate Kosovo from the Serbian genocide. Through a post on social networks, Begaj expressed thanks to the Alliance and the United States of America for this historic act for Albanians and the Balkan region.
The Head of State commemorated with honor the heroes of the KLA and the victims of the war in Kosovo. Thank you, NATO! Thank you, USA! 25 years ago, on March 24, 1999, NATO intervened to end the Serbian genocide in Kosovo.
Today we commemorate an event of historical importance for Kosovo and all Albanians. The intervention of NATO, led by the USA, gave justice to the high cause of the people of Kosovo and their efforts for freedom and independence.
Political wisdom, strategic foresight and the determination of the Alliance not to remain indifferent to ethnic cleansing and violence not only saved Kosovo, but created a new security framework for the entire region.
Thanks to this intervention, within a short time the independence and creation of the Republic of Kosovo became possible, a success story of democratic state building. The presence of NATO in Kosovo through KFOR troops continues to play an important role in the security of peace and stability in our region. NATO’s historic act reminds us that we must not stop our efforts to create a region that radiates harmony, cooperation and prosperity.
As we thank the invaluable help of the world’s most powerful Alliance and our strategic partner, the USA, today we commemorate the sacrifices of the Albanian nation, the heroic struggle of the KLA and the victims of the war in Kosovo. They built the pedestal where the just cause of the intervention in Kosovo was raised. Forever to the heroes of the nation!”, writes Begaj on Facebook.
