"We had a lot of international help especially from the EU and USA, which helped us to get out of this phase of emergency, to give some dynamism to Kosova"
About this Quote
The wording is careful in another way: “this phase of emergency” frames the recent past as a temporary crisis, not an enduring condition. It’s a political move that protects national dignity. Kosovo isn’t a perpetual charity case; it’s a society passing through a grim chapter. The subtext is governance: emergency is what you have when institutions are broken, when violence and displacement have hollowed out the basics. Assistance, then, is not just money or troops; it’s scaffolding for a state.
“Dynamism” is the key euphemism. It’s the language of development reports and EU accession rhetoric, chosen to make Kosovo legible to Western policymakers: stability plus reform plus growth. He avoids inflammatory nationalism and opts for a vocabulary that reassures donors and skeptics alike. Even “Kosova” (rather than “Kosovo”) asserts identity without picking a fight in the sentence itself.
In context, Rugova is threading a needle: validating Western involvement while claiming agency for a new political project. The intent is to normalize Kosovo’s Western orientation as practical necessity and moral inevitability.
