Henry Kissinger, the former ambassador of Kosovo in our country, Sylë Ukshini and journalist Robert Papa, have been described as thoughtful and controversial, on the day of his death. In the Ditari studio on A2 CNN, they talked about the position Kissinger took during the Kosovo War.
According to the Pope, he was a great figure for the Americans, but he was not on the side of the Albanians, he was pro-Serbian.
"Regarding us as Albanians and in the case of the KLA in Kosovo, he has not been on our side, he is part of the pro-Serbian republican party, he is a controversial figure, he has influenced the coups in Latin America. A strong but selfish diplomat. For the Americans, he was a great figure. It wasn't for us. It was not in our favor. It was against Rambuje. Two great men have been for Albania, Bushi and Clinton. In Kosovo, crimes are committed. Serbia has never been equal to us".
But according to Ukshin, Kissinger cannot be called pro-Serbian. He has represented the concept that NATO's intervention should be based on the principle of human rights.
"The attitudes of many thinkers at that time did not coincide with the developments. It cannot be called pro-Serbian. The condition to accept the Rambouje agreement was a condition for Serbia. In the 70s, it was impossible to break the positive image that Yugoslavia had. A big fight has been fought to overturn this concept and it is the republicans who want to destroy his life because of his commitment to the war in Kosovo, not that there was anything concrete about Kosovo".
Ukshini emphasizes that "NATO's intervention was not done to bring independence, the interventions are brought to create a situation to preserve the institutional part. The idea was to preserve the integrity of Yugoslavia. Neither the US nor other countries wanted its status to be destroyed. Even the negotiations in Vienna 2006-2007 did not show enthusiasm for independence even on the American European side, but as a result of the negotiations and research of new models, it was seen that the only solution is independence and this solution came too late".
The former ambassador considers Kissiger to be the most influential man in the formulation of American superpower policy, a theorist and influential on the global level.
