Read Hamza’s full post:

Last night was a long night for the Republic of Kosovo. But I want to believe that it will also be a turning point toward the right path for our state and, together with the state and the new President, also for the former leaders of the KLA, in our common battle for justice, truth and the purity of our liberation war.

The battle for justice in The Hague can no longer be fought only by the individuals, families, well-wishers and their defenders, who for almost six years now have carried the heavy weight of this process on their shoulders. Our state must now stand beside them, with all the capacities and responsibilities that belong to it.

On behalf of the PDK, I thank all the citizens who protested without stopping in the capital, in most of Kosovo’s cities and in the diaspora, becoming their voice and a very important part of this process.

Our citizens and the generations to come need a Kosovo that does not forget, a state that does not surrender and a society that defends its truth. They need a Kosovo that does not allow the sacrifice and the struggle for freedom to be dimmed by oblivion or distorted by prejudice.

Now we have a Joint Declaration of commitment and political will in the Assembly, a law for the protection of the KLA and we have the elected President. Therefore, without exception, we expect coordination, cooperation and support from everyone for this national cause. The KLA united us in a vision. Now is the time to turn that vision into a common mission, with commitment and concrete deeds.

Our battle for justice must continue. And in this battle, our liberators will not be alone.

We must all be together, as Telegrafi reports.
