Kosovo’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora (MFAD) has stated that offensive stickers with chauvinistic content in the Serbian language were placed on the exterior premises of the Kosovo Embassy in Berlin, specifically over the diplomatic building’s identification plaque.
According to the statement, the inscriptions contain nationalist and inciting slogans, including messages such as “No surrender” and “Kosovo is Serbia,” as well as other calls with propagandistic and divisive connotations.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora of the Republic of Kosovo announced that, immediately after identifying the incident, the Embassy of the Republic of Kosovo in Berlin notified the German authorities.
“Such actions are unacceptable and run counter to international norms and conventions that guarantee the inviolability of diplomatic missions, and they harm the spirit of coexistence and respect between states,” the MFAD statement said.
Offensive terms and narratives directed at Kosovo Albanians have frequently been used in public discourse in Serbia, including by senior state officials.
In March of last year, during a debate in the Serbian Parliament, Speaker Ana Brnabić referred to media outlets from Kosovo using offensive terms, despite a court ruling in Serbia declaring the term “shiptar” politically incorrect and insulting.
Additionally, the Office for Kosovo in the Government of Serbia has repeatedly used narratives of “persecution” or “terror against Serbs,” while its representatives have made harsh statements against Kosovo’s institutions.
According to local security organizations, such cases have been accompanied by the spread of disinformation and divisive narratives, particularly on platforms such as Telegram.
