what is your opinions on him? i don't know much about him so can peoples please tell me about him?

He was a liberal nationalist who I strongly admire. Above all, he was a man of peace. His death will cause a major political realignment in Kosovo, which may see more extremist forces seize power.

I am very happy that he did not die the gruesome death of another heroic separatist leader, Aslan Maskhadov. I hope Kosovo will not be lost the same way Chechnya was.

Yea, started reading stuff about him before and sounds like he deserves my critical support. Even though he had close links with the USA and EU i still think he's done wonders for kosovo through a pasifism
