In a post on the social media after the South East European Cooperation Process (SEECP) summit in Tirana on Monday, President Osmani also reaffirmed Kosovo’s clear and unwavering path toward the EU and NATO, as a natural part of the Euro-Atlantic family.

“Kosovo citizens should not be held hostage by measures that that directly harm them and that serve neither peace, nor dialogue, nor the European future of our region,” Osmani stated.

She expressed gratitude to Albanian President Bajram Begaj for the warm welcome and his leadership during this year’s SEECP Summit in Tirana.

“In my remarks, I underlined that EU enlargement is not a charity process—it is a strategic investment in Europe’s own security and its own future. It is therefore time for the EU to take concrete and merit-based steps toward Kosovo, including the removal of unjust measures and the granting of candidate status to our country,” President Osmani said.

“Kosovo’s path is clear and unwavering: toward the EU and NATO, as a natural part of the Euro-Atlantic family,” Kosovo President concluded.
