PRISTINA, May 9/ATA/- The Kosovo President Hashim Thaçi, who is on an official visit to Germany at the invitation of the German Chancellor Angela Merkel, after the meeting of the German Council on Foreign Relations signed autographs for attendees in his biography book.
I signed copies of my biography book” New State, Modern Statesman “by British authors Roger Boyes and Suzy Jagger,” the Kosovo President Thaçi writes on Facebook.
The head of state says that “I met many Kosovo friends, who have supported for two decades have supported the natural identity aspiration of Kosovo’s people for two decades. Berlin is one of the most important political places in Europe,” Thaci adds.
The biography book “New State, Modern Statesman” by Hashim Thaçi describes the story of the rare success of Western military intervention and the first biography of the new President of Kosovo, the youngest country in Europe.
In a period when Western military engagement has unleashed violent sectarianism global terrorism, and become a catalyst for the biggest exodus of migrants since the Second World War, the 1999 Nato intervention in Kosovo remains a unique and shining example of a process that led to a peaceful transition from vicious ethnic war to modern democracy.
Less than twenty years ago, a young ethnic Albanian student leader called Hashim Thaçi, led a revolution against Slobodan Milosevic, the Serbian tyrant with the biggest military force in Europe, and convinced the West to bomb Belgrade out of Kosovo.
The aerial bombardment beckoned a period of unrivalled peace in the Balkans which Western leaders who sought to subsequently overturn other tyrannies in foreign lands would view with envy as a rare successful model. Nato intervention in Kosovo, led by Tony Blair and Bill Clinton, resulted in democracy and the rule of law.
By contrast, however, attempts by George W. Bush to effect regime change in Iraq and Afghanistan, and by America, Britain and France to do the same in Libya, have left lethal power vacuums filled by Islamist insurgents, and brought about the downfall of Western leaders themselves.
