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 military operation “Epic Fury” conducted by the United States of America and partner forces against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Kurti reiterated the clear position of Kosovo’s institutions, stating that they stand unwaveringly alongside Kosovo’s friends and strategic allies, in particular the United States of America, in efforts to preserve international peace, security, and 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 Republic of Kosovo and are closely monitoring developments in the Middle East, as well as their potential implications for Kosovo and the region. They are also in close and continuous communication with strategic partners.
“We call on the citizens of the Republic of Kosovo to remain calm and to inform themselves only through official channels and credible sources of information, and not to fall prey to disinformation and propaganda aimed at destabilizing the country and creating insecurity, tensions, 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.
