Kosovo President Vjosa Osmani said on Thursday that Serbia had the intention and still has the intention to destabilize the security situation in Kosovo and that this assessment, which she made in Washington days ago, was based on the continuous information she received from the security institutions of the Republic of Kosovo.

During her visit to Washington last week, the president confirmed US President Donald Trump's statements that he had prevented a possible escalation from Serbia to Kosovo "in recent weeks."

“More specifically, at the end of May, we received specific information regarding Serbia’s actions on the border with Kosovo. Immediately after receiving this information, I had meetings with the security institutions that report to me as president. We have ensured that every institution in Kosovo has the appropriate mobilization for the defense of the country ,” she said at a press conference in Pristina, after returning from several visits to the United States and Latvia. Osmani said that some of the information is classified, but that it has been shared with allies to stop the escalation of security. Serbia rejected Osmani’s statements days ago, but the Kosovo president called them “part of their ongoing propaganda.”

"I assure the citizens of Kosovo that there is no reason for concern or panic, because our institutions are on duty to protect the borders and the security of all our citizens. Threats from Serbia are constant, however, our institutions have everything under control."

When asked about the accusations of Richard Grenell, the US President's envoy for Special Missions, that Osmani is manipulating Trump's statements, the president said that she only thanked President Trump for his role in the world in general, and in the Balkan region for maintaining peace and security.

"I have answered the questions and I invite the citizens of Kosovo to listen to the statements I was asked about. Among other things, there is the statement dated June 25, 2025, you can listen to it yourself. It is said that 'in the last week we took care of India, Serbia and Kosovo' ," Osmani declared, citing Trump's statements in recent weeks.

"I have not interpreted President Trump's statements, but I have shown how I understood them as the president of the Republic of Kosovo. If the position of the United States is different, I believe you can address it, but we appreciate the role of President Trump as a peacemaker day and night for peace in the world. We greatly appreciate this contribution. I do not want to state how others have commented on my statement."

Trump himself has mentioned Kosovo and Serbia on several occasions in recent weeks, saying he has prevented a conflict between them, but without providing details about the time period. Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty has contacted the White House for clarification regarding these statements, but has not received a response. The acting government of Kosovo has also not responded when asked what kind of escalation of the situation is being discussed.

NATO's mission in Kosovo, KFOR, has told Radio Free Europe that the Western Balkans continue to have strategic importance for the alliance and it is committed to regional stability.

However, KFOR did not want to comment on the latest statements by Osman and Trump, saying that they should be referred to the institutions of Kosovo and the US. The German Embassy in Kosovo also told Radio Free Europe a day ago that it has no information about any military escalation of the situation between Kosovo and Serbia./ REL
