Wishing the new Kosovo president success in the upcoming talks on Kosovo's status, President Mesic said he was confident that the struggle for stronger democratic institutions and standards of minority protection, dialogue and cooperation was not only an obligation towards Europe but also towards one's own citizens.
"We must support such policy and implement it actively in Southeast Europe," President Mesic said in the message.
The Kosovo Assembly elected Sejdiu, the candidate of the Kosovo Democratic Alliance, the new Kosovo president to succeed the late Ibrahim Rugova.
