A very difficult, yet successful term in office is over. I pursued the right course, I set the right priorities. I gave but did not take. I kept my promises. I have made mistakes as every human being but not as President, and I made no mistakes vis-a-vis the important issues. What matters in politics is not how you enter but how you leave – I am leaving holding my head up.
