Politician

I felt that what is personal is political.

I am positive that flexibility is a feminine characteristic.

The speed of movement towards independence will depend on Kosovo demonstrating that it is capable of treating minorities well. We have not always seen that.

Kosovo's destiny is clearly to join the European Union at some point.

I met the Radicals and we liked each other reciprocally.

I support the recommendations made by the International Crisis Group. The primary responsibility is for Kosovo Albanians to demonstrate that their treatment of minorities is adequate.

I think nowadays economic liberties are an explosive issue.

I am now concerned with women's issues in a different way: women from Afghanistan, from Cambodia.

I thought there had to be something I could do because it seemed crazy that, in addition to the psychological tragedy each woman has to face, came also all the rest.

The two great cultural and political currents of Italy have always only been concerned with the masses.

I was thrown into the Parliament right away. From 1976 to 1978 I was concerned with the abortion issue, later on with that of divorce.

The knowledge of languages was very useful. I have a university degree in foreign languages and literature.

The EU should have consolidated its different presences and purposes in Kosovo earlier.

Macedonia's handling of ethnic relations and other issues is encouraging.

Men don't have as many difficulties and are more supported to combine the different aspects of their life.

My mother's studies stopped with the third year of primary school, my father with the first. They taught me a deep sense of duty. But nobody was involved in politics in my family.

My mother was a regular church-goer and was very tolerant.

My family had liberal positions.

I should have worried about taking responsibilities for which I was not ready.

I was on leave from local and regional politics, as long as I was a Minister.
