By Ilir Bushi Clinton in Kosovo. Yesterday, Kosovo’s orphaned children and those who survived the Serbian genocide threw bouquets of flowers in gratitude before the liberator and genius of international politics, President Bill Clinton, who signed in Ferizaj the act of peace and continuity. Although Milosevic’s broken megaphones and the owls of the Middle Ages protested the American president’s visit, his message once again spread a new spirit throughout the Balkan region yesterday, for managing the postwar period and winning peace. Standing fully on the side of Kosovo’s terrorized people, Clinton, as a politician of great stature, once again showed wisdom on the path to correcting the past: it passes through the eyes of children who want to look toward the future. In the name of the wounds of the liberation war and the mass graves opened throughout martyr Kosovo, Clinton repeated that the hand that will rock the cradle of the Balkan future must be tolerance and understanding. Although he knows well the inherited problems, hatreds and hysterias in the Balkan region, Clinton once again called for an end to the bloodshed, to guarantee stability and survival. Challenging Milosevic’s discontent and megalomania, the American president showed that the road to Kosovo no longer passes through Belgrade. The old books of the Bible explicitly say that “whoever saves a human life has saved an entire world,” as well as “whoever punishes evil will receive universal gratitude everywhere.” Bill Clinton has shown, at the close of this century, that human conscience must never remain silent in the face of criminal massacres, while the people of Kosovo themselves, and the [unclear] of due gratitude, showed once again that our nation will never forget the contribution of the great figures.

P. 2 Today, a delegation of the Republican Party, led by its chairman Fatmir Mediu, will depart for the United States to take part in the traditional Flag Day celebrations organized by the Albanian-American Community. The visits will focus on Chicago, Dallas and Detroit.
