The Chairman of the Democratic Party of Kosovo, Memli Krasniqi, on the occasion of the 17th anniversary of independence, congratulated all citizens: "On this great holiday for our country, I wish all citizens of Kosovo, wherever they are, a happy Independence Day. It is a day that has concluded the great sacrifice of generations by realizing the request that our people have had for decades and each of us on this day should be inspired and pledge to work harder for our country and to make our Kosovo better. I take this opportunity to first of all congratulate our friends, the leaders of the KLA who are being unjustly held in The Hague, starting with President Hashim Thaçi, Chairman Kadri Veseli, Chairman Jakup Krasniqi, MP Rexhep Selimi and all the others with the wish that this will be the last year that we mark Independence Day without their presence."

We must be aligned to preserve independence and freedom, mistakes in alignment are a danger even to the foundations of our state."
