Republic of Kosovo President Fatmir Sejdiu’s Address on the 10th Anniversary of Academic Fehmi Agani’s murder

Ten years ago, Kosovo experienced the worst tragedy in its history. In the spring of 1999, faced with NATO airstrikes and convinced that its atrocious rule over Kosovo was reaching its end, Serbia committed unseen massacres upon the civilian population all around Kosovo. While Serb regular police and military forces were slaughtering unprotected Albanians every day, pyromaniacs encouraged by Milosevic and the entire Belgrade caste were burning houses and schools one by one, showing no respect for cultural facilities either.

President Sejdiu expressed his condolences to the German President, Mr. Horst Kohler

The President of the Republic of Kosovo, Dr. Fatmir Sejdiu, has sent a telegram of condolence to his German counterpart, Mr. Horst Kohler, for the tragedy that has taken place yesterday in the German town of Winneden, where a young man murdered 15 citizens, among them an Albanian student from Kosovo. Below you may read the contents of the telegram:
