She emphasized the strategic importance of relations with France and its key role in the international consolidation of the state of Kosovo.
Speaking about security challenges in the region, President Osmani emphasized Serbia’s continued tendencies to destabilize Kosovo and the entire region.

She stressed that Kosovo’s membership in this organization is a guarantee for the protection of fundamental freedoms and for the enhancement of democratic standards in the country, while stressing the need for France’s support in this process.
