Kosovo President Fatmir Sejdiu "decorated Ahtisaari with the 'Golden Independence Medal' for his contribution to Kosovo's independence".
Addressing a ceremonial session of the Kosovo assembly, Ahtisaari said that the "acknowledgments of Kosovo's independence from all across the world prove that that independence is an irreversible process".
