Below is President Tha\u00e7i\u2019s full address at the iftar meal, laid out tonight in honour of the leaders of Kosovo Islamic Community:<\/p>\n
\u201cBy expressing my pleasure to be in your presence, please allow me to convey my felicitations for your fast today. The month of Ramadan, is year after year, a month of temptation for the devotees, who voluntarily abstain from food and water, thus dedicating more to the faith in God.<\/p>\n
During this month, both physical and spiritual peace reigns and there is greater harmony between brain and heart.<\/p>\n
Peace reigns over the conflict during this month.<\/p>\n
The good over evil.<\/p>\n
Fasting is the moment of the increased solidarity among the families of the faithful.<\/p>\n
There is greater awareness about people with insufficient means.<\/p>\n
Remembrance for solidarity with the weak.<\/p>\n
Thus, the month of Ramadan is a month of human ennoblement, strengthening of love and surfacing of mercifulness.<\/p>\n
Honourable participants at this iftar,<\/p>\n
We are lucky we live in a society with exceptional religious, cultural and ethnic tolerance.<\/p>\n
Religious beliefs are a treasure.<\/p>\n
Respecting each other\u2019s traditions and religious rites makes our lives richer.<\/p>\n
For this positive climate, a special merit goes to you, honourable leaders of Kosovo Islamic Community.<\/p>\n
Kosovo has been and will continue to be a land of all religious faith which excludes all types of extremism.<\/p>\n
Honourable participants,<\/p>\n
We are proud of the nurturing of the good religious tradition even at most difficult times of captivity and prevalence of monist ideologies.<\/p>\n
Albanian Muslim clergy has at all times been on the side of the people.<\/p>\n
On the side of ideals and ambitions for freedom and independence.<\/p>\n
Therefore tonight, I wish you enjoy this iftar, with trust that the remaining days of the month of Ramadan pass in enjoyment, in the midst of your family and friends\u201d.
