The President of Kosovo Vjosa Osmani is participating in the fourth summit of the European Political Community in Great Britain, where the main topic of discussion is the war in Ukraine.
Osmani said that the war in Ukraine is endangering the security and stability of not only the region, but also the whole of Europe. She has requested unique support from all countries in their support for Ukraine, which is facing Russian aggression since February 2022.
“So even though we’re not a member of the European Union, we will have an equal opportunity to express not just concerns but also ideas on how we can overcome some of the greatest challenges that our continent is facing. As you know, these are not easy times, not the least because of the war in Ukraine because of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, which is endangering the security architecture of the entire European continent, but at the same time, is an excellent opportunity to remind ourselves that there are success stories, like the Republic of Kosovo, which have shown that back in 1999 the West had the high ground and Kosovo the proof, and now the West once again has the high ground and Ukraine tomorrow will be the proof. It’s very important that we stand united in defending the values of democracies from the malign forces such as Russia, but as important it is to fight against Russian proxies because they are as dangerous as Russia and Putin himself”, said Osmani.
President Osmani has also spoken about the NATO intervention 25 years ago, ending the regime of the butcher of the Balkans, Slobodan Milosevic, and bringing freedom to the Albanian people. She said that Kosovo is the success story of democracy, which always results when countries are united to fight evil.
Meanwhile, in the USA, electoral campaigns for the November presidential elections have started, President Osmani has said that this is a matter for the American people to decide with their free vote. At the same time, she expressed gratitude for the great contribution that the USA and its allies have made in support of Kosovo in its struggle for freedom and the development of democracy.
“This is a decision for the people of the United States to make. Kosovo has been blessed to always have the bipartisan support of the United States of America. We became free during a Democratic president, but we became independent during a republican president. And in every administration we had the outstanding support of the United States of America. Let’s not forget that US soldiers, alongside UK soldiers are helping us defend our country. They are putting their lives on the line together with our own soldiers, and we will always have this great gratitude towards these contributing countries and the United States, of course, has led the world into making sure that we defend freedom and Liberty and democracy, and we will continue to stand together with the United States, and the United Kingdom, of course, and the European Union in making sure that Kosovo remains a success story”, concluded Osmani.
