President Osmani remembers Latif Berisha and Agim Hajrizi
On March 24, 1999, Kosovo lost two prominent humanists: Latif Berisha and Agim Hajrizi.

On the same day, Latif Berisha and Agim Hajrizi, along with Agim’s mother and son, were killed by the genocidal Serbian regime. However, their work and sacrifice remain immortal and a reference for generations. Kosovo remembers and honours their work and sacrifice, today and always! May the memory of Latif Berisha, Agim Hajrizi and all those who fell for freedom be eternal!

Reaction to Lirim Mehmetaj’s defamation
President Vjosa Osmani will not allow orchestrated defamation to go unanswered. This is not the first time that this person has attempted to manipulate the public with defamation. For this reason, the President will take all legal steps to protect the truth and to seek accountability for the misuse of public speech through the spread of defamation and the purpose of manipulating the public through disinformation. Consequently, President Osmani will file a defamation lawsuit against Mehmetaj to protect personal and institutional integrity. Mehmetaj does not have a single piece of evidence for his defamation and cannot have one, because what he declares is defamation with a tendency to denigrate the President and her family. At the same time, we inform Lirim Mehmetaj that for any defamation made against the President in the future, he will receive the appropriate response, through legal means.
