A two-day conference on the economic and social development of Kosovo was held in Ljubljana. It doesn't look like it was worth the money but it's good nevertheless to hear that there are some people out there thinking even about such petty issues as the economy.

Sali Berisha, Albanian's prime minister visited Kosovo last week for three days. He was made honorary citizen of the cities of Prishtina and Gjakova. He also visited late President Rugova's memorial, Jasharaj family memorial in Drenica, and Peja and Prizren. He had tears in his eyes at all the memorials. In Gjakova he recollected how as a young boy growing up just across the border from Gjakova, in Tropoja, he would seek the highest peaks to have a look at Gjakova down in the valley hoping that one day he would be able to visit it.

Berisha asked Albanians to respect Serbs and promised funds from his government to rebuilt the Serb church in Kosovo Polje. He said that the future of Albanians in the 21st century will be bright. He reiterated the stand that the two countries will meet in an integrated Europe, just days after Albania signed the ascension agreement with the EU.
