\u201cI visited the military camp in Halifax, where Kosovo refugees were received during the war. I met Canadians who have contributed to peace in Kosovo and in the world\u201d, said President Tha\u00e7i.<\/p>\n

\u201cRussia is aggressively opposing the citizenship of Kosovo, as in the case of Suriname\u201d, said President Tha\u00e7i and invited for greater support and coordination on the international scene with all the friendly states.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet us cooperate in lobbying for new recognitions and membership in other international organizations\u201d, said President Tha\u00e7i.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can always count on Canada\u2019s support\u201d, said Minister Freeland, adding that \u201cit is impressive what Kosovo has achieved, especially when considering the challenges through which it has passed\u201d.<\/p>\n
President Tha\u00e7i said that Kosovo is determined for NATO and EU membership and added that the region\u2019s rapid integration into NATO and the EU is the best way to stop the infiltration of anti-western ideologies in the Western Balkans.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur future is in NATO and the EU. The earlier we enter into NATO and the EU, the entire region, the sooner the door and the opportunity will be closed to destabilize the region both to Russia and all other anti-Western ideologies\u201d, said President Tha\u00e7i<\/p>\n
