In an address to Kosovo's citizens broadcast on the public television network on Friday, Kosumi called for the unity of political parties and citizens on the path of establishment of a democratic society that would serve as an example of tolerance and multiethnicity.
Kosumi said that Annan's decision, which is based on a report by Ambassador Kai Eide to the Security Council, marked the beginning of the most important period in Kosovo's history, which he said offered the prospect of independence. Stressing that a lot of work remained to be done, Kosumi called for unity in a bid to establish an independent and developed state of Kosovo.
