An old Albanian man, wounded (during the war), celebrating with tears of joy for this long waited day; the day of Kosova’s Independence.
He is holding a picture from a magazine, where Dr. Ibrahim Rugova (1944 – 2006) shakes hands with the former US President Bill Clinton. On the other hand, he used his cane (walking stick) to hold up his national flag.
He lost three brothers during the war in 1999 and three weeks ago another brother of his died. He wishes his brothers were with him on this big day for his country.
