The President of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani, in an interview for "Syri TV" said that as the Presidency, with contacts and the support of the diaspora, she has managed to solidify the position of the Trump 2 administration, pro-Kosovo sovereignty, pro-territorial integrity and pro-NATO membership. 

"We have managed as a presidency, with our contacts and the support of our diaspora, to solidify the position of the Trump 2 administration in favor of Kosovo's sovereignty, in favor of territorial integrity, in favor of NATO membership. We have managed to talk one by one in a meeting with Marco Rubio, to make a concrete plan for the recognition of the Republic of Kosovo by non-recognizing countries. We have talked about how to get Kosovo into NATO, we have talked about opening chapters, all of them in their entirety. We have achieved everything with zero lobbying. No concessions, and we have not even been asked for any concessions in the dialogue with Serbia. It has been agreed that any dialogue with Serbia will be based on mutual recognition," said Osmani. 

She said it was historic support. She said she didn't expect this success to hinder anyone in Kosovo. 

"This should be a success that we celebrate together, not a success that hinders someone. I know it hinders Serbia, but I never expected in my life that it would hinder anyone else. Our territory is guarded by American soldiers together with the Kosovo police. At the Peace Board, presidents who do not recognize Kosovo have told me that so far we have not considered recognition, but this changes everything," said Osmani.
