President Osmani: What the people of Ukraine are experiencing now, brings back memories of the grievous wounds inflicted upon citizens of Kosovo during the 1990s by the Serbian genocidal regime

The President of the Republic of Kosovo Vjosa Osmani – Sadriu participated at the solidarity with Ukraine march,  organized today in Pristina by civil society organizations. President Osmani thanked everyone for their participation, but above all thanked the civil society organizations for the organization, which according to her once again proves that Kosovo stands strong with the people of Ukraine, as it has stood throughout history with freedom-loving nations around the world.

“Of course, what the people of Ukraine are experiencing right now brings back memories of the grievous wounds inflicted upon citizens of Kosovo during the 1990s by the Serbian genocidal regime. Therefore, we have joined the democratic world, we have joined our allies not only to condemn the Russian aggression on Ukraine but at the same time to demand responsibility for the crimes being committed by the war criminal, dictator Putin. “We will stay united, we will unite our voice and actions as we did before, and I am convinced that as in the case of Kosovo in '99, now in Ukraine in 2022, freedom and democracy will triumph,” stressed President Osmani. According to Madam President, Kosovo with all its capacities is ready to receive refugees from Ukraine.

“Since the very first day of Russia's aggression on Ukraine, we have initiated this issue with the relevant institutions. You already know that a resolution of the Assembly of Kosovo has been adopted, and our institutions have shown readiness to use all the capacities we have and that have been built in the meantime for the reception of refugees from Ukraine. At the same time, of course, we have made this known to the states that now have more refugees, but also to other allied states. Furthermore, Kosovo has shown readiness to provide support and hospitality to journalists from Ukraine, not only for them to reside in Kosovo but also continue to carry out with journalism and reporting from a safe place, that is from the Republic of Kosovo. We have done everything in our power and we will continue to do it within the capabilities that a small country like Kosovo has. But let us be clear that it is important that our voice is heard in every corner of the world related to what happens when dictators are pampered and how much help is needed from our Western allies and other peace-loving states for the people of Ukraine right now. “They are being bombed by Russia,” said President Osmani. The head of state also announced that institutions have communicated with Ukrainian embassies around the world, especially in countries where Kosovo also has embassies. “Of course, we have communicated with Ukrainian embassies around the world, especially in countries where Kosovo also has embassies. We have also sent our messages to the central institutions of Ukraine. Of course, they are aware of all the measures undertaken by the Republic of Kosovo in support of the people of Ukraine, as well as in respect of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of this state. “They are also aware of the fact which state in our region is continuing to stand by Putin and Russia, and of course, it is Serbia,” said President Osmani.
