“New state, modern statesman”, the biography dedicated to Hashim Thaçi co-authored by two British journalists, Roger Boyes and Suzy Jagger, was promoted in the salon of the Prime Minister on Thursday.
“Kosovo has traveled an incredible journey, and an important person for the development of this bastion of democracy in the Balkans is Hashim Thaçi. Since he was a young man, not yet thirty, he headed the Albanian delegation of Kosovo at the international conference in the castle of Rambouillet in France”, the book says.
The book was originally published six years ago and was brought into Albanian by the Fan Noli publishing house, translated by Arta Dade.
The fate of Kosovo was in the hands of Thaci’s admirable ability to persuade his fellow combatants to compromise – no easy task for those on the ground who had witnessed the inhumane crimes committed by Serbian forces, the book points out. which ran into a lot of controversy when it saw the light of publication due to accusations that it was a sponsored biography.
Thaçi himself has stated that the book is not written only for him, but for Kosovo.
