The President of the Republic of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani, has said that on Europe Day, we reflect on the values at the core of both our Republic and the European Union: democracy, human rights and the rule of law.
President Osmani wrote:
On Europe Day, we reflect on the values that underpin our Republic and the European Union: democracy, human rights and the rule of law. These values have been and remain our guide in the journey towards integration into the European Union and the daily strengthening of our state.
For the people of Kosovo, this day is a reaffirmation of who we are. Because we believe in Europe despite the challenges and injustices we face along this journey.
On this significant day, it is important that, with one voice, we demand the lifting of the European Union’s unjust measures against Kosovo, and the serious treatment of Serbia’s destabilizing policies—which became even more evident when Vuçiq chose to mark Europe Day in Moscow, precisely with Putin, the one who is today endangering the stability and security of our continent.
For the dream of Europeans for a whole, free and united Europe to be fully realised, punitive policies against the most pro-European people must end, and accommodative policies against pro-Putinist Serbia must stop.
