President Osmani Remembers the 26th Anniversary of the Mitrovica Market Massacre
Today, 26 years later, we remember with pain the seven innocent lives that were tragically lost in the Mitrovica market massacre, where the criminal hand of the genocidal Serbian regime aimed to break the spirit of a people fighting for freedom with grenades. Among the victims were children and women, innocent people who faced brutality instead of peace. 128 citizens were wounded that day, and the pain was forever etched in their bodies and in our hearts. It was a ruthless attack, a barbaric act that was intended to sow fear, but instead, it sowed strength and determination. Mitrovica was not broken. Kosovo was not brought to its knees. Today, we bow in reverence before those who lost their lives, before the wounds of a city that became the symbol of resistance. On this anniversary, we renew our commitment: we will remember, we demand justice, and we move forward. Glory to the victims of the Mitrovica market massacre! Glory to all those who fell for the freedom of Kosovo!

President Osmani: The Student Spring of 1981 was not a wave of protests, but a historical turning point that gave impetus to the movement for freedom and independence
Kosovo Republic! This was the call that rang out in the streets of Pristina and other cities in 1981, when students rose up as the voice of an oppressed people. The Student Spring was not simply a wave of protests, but a historical turning point that gave impetus to the movement for freedom and independence. The demonstrations of March and April were not just demands for better conditions, but a powerful call for dignity and national rights. The demonstrations were an act of courage that challenged the harsh Yugoslav regime and foreshadowed the long journey towards freedom and statehood. Those who took to the streets, who faced violence and repression, lit the flame of resistance, gave shape to the dream of a free Kosovo. Today, 44 years later, we remember and honor those students and demonstrators who, with their idealism and sacrifice, paved the way for the freedom we enjoy today.
