Lars-Gunnar Wigemark: The future is ultimately in the hands of the people

Now, EULEX works largely as a monitoring mission.
You cannot have outsiders coming in and having this sort of colonial approach.
Kosovo is the host. We don't like to be here to be imposing on Kosovo.
There are literally hundreds if not thousands of cases out there affected by this.
What we can do is support it. But we cannot play the executive role.
You cannot put it just on the political leaders; it’s for all people to say no to this kind of behavior.
The sooner young people are given the possibility to be not just observers but participants they will be the social and political change that Kosovo needs.
