The President of the Republic of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani, has called Serbia's statement on the memorandum between Kosovo, Albania and Croatia on a military alliance ridiculous.

She emphasized that Serbia, as an aggressor state, attempts to present itself as a victim by exploiting situations that have nothing to do with it.

"It is interesting that historically aggressor states like Serbia and Russia constantly try to present themselves as victims. If you look at their ridiculous statements despite the fact that they have a history of invasions, attacks, genocide, wars that they themselves have caused, aggressor states like Serbia and Russia present themselves as if they are attacking them. We have never attacked anyone, we have never tried to occupy a single centimeter of someone else's territory. But in the history of our nation, Albanians and Kosovo have always defended ourselves and we will continue to defend our sovereignty, territorial integrity, statehood. The trilateral agreement aims to help each other increase our defense capacities, so to defend ourselves and not attack anyone," she said in a statement to the media.

Osmani has stated that Serbia is no longer questioned about anything and that it is the only one endangering the region.  

"The times when Serbia is questioned about anything are over once and for all. We are a sovereign, independent state, we make decisions ourselves in accordance with our interests and with the goal of peace and stability in the region, a goal that is only endangered by Serbia, no one else."

The Serbian Foreign Ministry has considered the military alliance agreement a "provocation" and said it will send an urgent request to the Foreign Ministries of Croatia and Albania, requesting a detailed explanation regarding the signing of the trilateral memorandum.
