Kosovo’s president Vjosa Osmani, declared that Russia seeks to destabilize the Balkans through Serbia.
In an interview for a Spanish news media, Osmani said that Serbia’s recent arming and its joint exercises with Russia should serve as a red flag for the entire European Union.
“Russian President Vladimir Putin will want to use Serbia in order to destabilize the Balkans and together with it, entire Western Europe, in an attack against the Democratic values of the European Union. Serbia, Bosnia Hercegovina, and Kosovo are the only countries in the region that aren’t part of NATO. Keeping peace and stability in the Balkans means keeping peace and stability in the entire European continent,” -said Osmani.
In addition, she said that she is very concerned with the increase in the number of weapons coming into Serbia, which is why according to her, the right decision would be to become a member of NATO.
“We remain very concerned that Serbia has increased the number of weapons it is buying and this proves its goals in the region. I believe that membership in NATO is crucial. I want to make an appeal to the four NATO member states that still haven’t recognized Kosovo, to do so, because we shouldn’t continue looking at this only from the perspective of internal politics,” – said Kosovo’s president.
Osmani also called on NATO and EU member states to recognize the independence of Kosovo.
