ESTATS UNITS I ALEMANYA FELICITEN KOSOVO

Avui fa dos anys que Kosovo va declarar la seva independència. Des d'aquest bloc vam seguir els esdeveniments de ben aprop. Va ser molt emocionant.

Fins al dia d'avui, 65 estats (22 membres de la UE), han reconegut ja la independència de Kosovo.

Segons dades dels Banc Central de Kosovo, l'economia del país va créixer al llarg del 2009, un 4% en plena crisi econòmica mundial. També es destaca el fet que la Inversió Estrangera Directa (FDI) ha crescut de forma exponencial.

Amb motiu d'aquest aniversari, el President dels Estats Units, Barack Obama, ha enviat una carta de felicitació al President de la República de Kosovo, Fatmir Sejdiu, al qual, per cert, ja va rebre a la Casa Blanca el passat 23 de setembre (foto).

El contingut de la carta presidencial és el següent:

Dear President,

On behalf of the people of America, I congratulate You and the people of Kosovo on February 17, the second anniversary of Kosovo’s independence.

I also wish to congratulate the people of Kosovo on progress made in building a democratic, peaceful and multiethnic state.

We appreciate our partnership and remain committed to supporting You in your necessary steps to accomplish your Euro-Atlantic aspirations.

On February 17, I convey to You my wishes and my firm belief that we will maintain our friendship and strengthen the partnership between our countries.

Yours sincerely,
Barack Obama
President of the United States of America

La carta del President Obama no ha estat l'única que ha rebut Sejdiu.

També n'ha rebut del President de la República Federal d'Alemanya, Horst Köhler,

His Excellency Mr. Fatmir Sejdiu
President of Republic of Kosovo

Mr. President

I wish to convey to You and the people of your country my heartfelt congratulation on the occasion of the second anniversary of Republic of Kosovo’s independence.

Last year Kosovo made a major headway in terms of its economic stability and development of domestic and foreign policies. Kosovo’s accession to the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank and conduct of peaceful municipal elections constitute accomplishments which, I believe, will be followed by other achievements.

In terms of further reforms in Kosovo and its efforts to come closer to the Euro-Atlantic community, I wish Your country much strength and belief in the future. As it was the case so far, Germany will do its utmost to support Kosovo in this course.

Yours truly,

Horst Köhler
President of Federal Republic of Germany

Des d'aquest bloc felicito de nou el Poble Kosovar per la seva Llibertat.
