Meantime, it was announced that the government in Pristina looks to spend EUR 150,000 for the celebrations. Thaci said that "the first year of the state has been successful", and that "every citizen of Kosovo should feel proud for what they have done for freedom and the state". "On Tuesday we are celebrating a birthday that will open up the country's perspective and that of all citizens of Kosovo," he said, listing "creation of new jobs, building of the country's stability, security recognitions for the independent state" as the achievements in the past year. As for the future, Thaci said Kosovo would "integrate into all international mechanisms". According to him, the celebrations on Tuesday will be "dignified and comprehensive".
