TedxVienna - Albin Kurti - International Protectorate

In August 1997, when Albin Kurti was 22 years old, he joined presidency of
the Students Independent Union of the University of Prishtina (SIUUP), and soon after he became its International Officer. During the historic student demonstration in Prishtina on October 1, 1997, brutally repressed by Milosevic's police, Kurti was one of the protest leaders. During the NATO bombing of Serbia and Kosovo he was engaged in seeking a political solution to Kosovo's crisis and was arrested by Serbian police. After a 15 years sentence in 2000, Kurti was released in 2001 due to international pressure. Albin Kurti is currently an MP, the Chair of the Parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee in the Republic of Kosovo, as well as the leader of the political movement, Lëvizja VETËVENDOSJE.

This speech is composed of a series of assertions which are proof against validation or refutation. "Peace is not science; it is a product." The speaker throws out one of these ambiguous statements after another, giving the listener no specific examples of what he's talking about. "Conflict management is not progress." Well, stable management of non-violent adaptation to conflict is basically what democratic republican rule involves. For example, when political parties disagree, and the ones not in power are able to win election, the conflict is not 'resolved, ' but step-by-step, compromise by compromise, the system adjusts to the new power balance.
