President Vjosa Osmani stated that Kosovo and the people still have fresh memories of the war, while comparing this to the war that is taking place in Ukraine.
Speaking about women, Osmani said that when half of humanity is excluded from the generation of ideas and decisions, the opportunity for a society and democracy with transformative potential is lost.
"Kosovo and our people still have fresh memories of the war and today our hearts beat hard in front of the television screens and phones while we see the images coming from different cities and countries of Ukraine", she declared in the Women's Week.
According to Osmani, the status of women in society shows the status of democracy, citing the vice president of the USA, Kamala Harris.
"Only an inclusive democracy is a sustainable democracy".

Speaking at this organization for gender equality, the American ambassador to Kosovo, Jeffrey Hovenier, said that it is a marker of progress and that it shows how far it has moved forward.
"Women continue to be underrepresented in the leadership of parties and in the media".
On the other hand, the leader of the Democratic Party of Kosovo, Memli Krasniqi, said that they had the largest number of women candidates for mayors of municipalities, while the leader of the LDK, Lumir Abdixhiku, emphasized that the quota has produced good results.
"There is an awareness of the political parties themselves, which is very important. The parties are clear, women can be elected", Abdixhiku said.
Further, the Deputy Prime Minister Emilija Rexhepi said that the woman should not be the one who performs the household duties, as according to her, they should be divided equally.
"Women should be a bigger factor where decisions are made."
