Late last night, at the request of the Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, an extraordinary meeting of the Security Council was held to discuss the latest developments in the security situation in the Middle East and the U.S. and partner forces’ military operation “Epic Fury” against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Kurti reaffirmed the clear stance of Kosovo’s institutions, emphasizing that they remain steadfast in support of our friends and strategic allies, particularly the United States, in efforts to maintain peace, security, and international stability.
At the same time, Kosovo expressed its solidarity with the people of Iran and their legitimate aspirations for freedom, dignity, and fundamental rights.
The institutions of the Republic of Kosovo have already taken all necessary measures to maintain order and security within the country and are closely monitoring developments in the Middle East, as well as potential implications for Kosovo and the region. We are also in close and continuous communication with our strategic partners.
“We call on the citizens of the Republic of Kosovo to remain calm and to obtain information only through official channels and credible sources, and not to fall prey to disinformation and propaganda aimed at destabilizing the country, creating insecurity or tension, or spreading narratives against the statehood and security of the Republic of Kosovo.
The Republic of Kosovo remains a reliable and committed partner of the Euro-Atlantic community and will continue to contribute to joint efforts for global peace, security, and stability,” the statement reads.
