News Advisory:
The President of Kosova, Dr. Ibrahim Rugova, will hold an "Afternoon
Newsmaker" news conference Friday, Sept.
9, at 2 p.m. EDT at the National Press Club (Lisagor Room), 529 14th St.,
N.W., Washington, D.C.
President Rugova will discuss "The Coming Independence of Kosova and the
Nation's Future."
Details:
Since the war against Serbian attacks against Kosova ended six years ago the
area has been under UN civil administration and the security of a NATO-led
international military force. Recently, the United States said it would,
with the European Union and United Nations, begin a process to determine
Kosova's political status. President Rugova's goal is an independent,
sovereign country. Some Serbian leaders want Kosova to return to some form
of integration within what remains of the former Yugoslavia, i.e., Serbia
and Montenegro. The United States, European Union and United Nations want
Kosova to develop Western-standard political and economic institutions and a
civil society and ensure full political rights for the minority Serb
population.
