Aleksandar Mitic, the director of the project, presented to the audience of some 70 EU and NATO officials, diplomats, NGO representatives, analysts and journalists the four products which constitute the project: the cd-rom "Kosovo Compromise 2007: The Fast-Track to Europe", the analytical bulletin "In Press 4S", the brochure "Kosovo Compromise Charts" and the website http://www.kosovocompromise.com/.
"Our goal last year, with ‘Kosovo 2006: The Making of a Compromise' was to open up the debate on the Kosovo status, to make it more transparent, to analyze the possible solutions and warn about possible consequences (...) this year, with the new project, we wanted to show why maximum or substantial autonomy was a win-win solution, in full conformity with European values and international norms", Mitic said.
Aleksandar Simic praised the project.
"I am impressed with the endeavor of Aleksandar Mitic and his friends, who had the courage and boldness to introduce the CD-Rom "Kosovo 2006: The Making of a Compromise" in a year when almost everybody, especially the media - here in Brussels, elsewhere in EU, and in the US in particular - had proclaimed that Ahtisaari's process would be ended by the end of 2006", Simic said.
"The Ahtisaari process failed and it is an example of how Mr. Mitic and his friends had a vision to introduce not just a CD-Rom, but also plenty of arguments on why this problem - which is now finally not only Serbian and regional, but also European - has to be understood and considered as a very serious one", Simic said.
