President Osmani and Mr. Otte discussed, among others, the possibilities of increasing the cooperation between our two institutions of parliamentary commissioners of our respective forces, with the exchange of professional experiences, always in function of strengthening accountability and transparency mechanisms, as well as advancing democratic standards in the respective armed forces.
President Osmani also reiterated that Germany has been and remains a strategic partner of Kosovo in peace, security, development and integration into NATO and the EU.

In conclusion, President Osmani added that even with the establishment of the institution of the Parliamentary Commissioner of the KSF, we demonstrate that our path toward NATO is based on standards, responsibility, and democratic values. The KSF will continue to develop and advance with dedication to become an example of a professional, ethical, and fully accountable defense force in the implementation of its constitutional mission and legal competencies.
