23rd Jan 2006, 14:48 GMT
Filed under: Lung Cancer A moment of silence was observed today in memory of Kosovo president Ibrahim Rugova. Rugova was diagnosed last September with lung cancer. Although he at times struggled to even breathe, he continued to attending meetings with Western politicians as he forged on with his dream of freedom for Kosovo. He died just a few days before talks were to begin on the final status of the U.N.-administered province, Kosovo's political scene has been thrown into disarray as countymen mourn his death. ''Kosovo is proud to have had Ibrahim Rugova,'' Nexhat Daci, the head of Kosovo's assembly, told lawmakers in parliament, which was adorned with a large photograph of Rugova bearing a black ribbon and placed over a large bouquet of flowers.''Kosovo is certain of its future because it has his legacy,'' Daci said.
