Kosovo President Wears Military Uniform as Tensions Rise
During her annual address to the Kosovo Security Forces, the President of the Republic of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani, drew everyone's attention after appearing wearing a military uniform. This comes at a time when tensions in the north of the country continue to be a hot issue and a solution has not yet been found between the parties.
Osmani declared during her speech before the Kosovar troops that more than ever devotion to the motherland, vigilance and dedication is needed.
"The year that we are leaving behind was filled with challenges not only for us, but also for the world. We must be aware that the challenges will increase alongside efforts to challenge world peace and order by authoritarian hegemonic regimes. Therefore, more than ever, we need devotion to the motherland, vigilance and dedication to become guardians of the Republic.
This willingness of yours to protect the country from any danger makes each of us proud... it is an honor and a privilege every time I am among you. Above all, the boys and girls of our force are ready to maintain the territorial integrity and sovereignty of our country... You stand out for the dedication to the country, for the professional level, for discipline and dedication to duty, for the honor to your country. This makes us proud as a country", she said.
