The statements of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Serbia, where he said that “the stance on Kosovo’s independence has not changed,” also prompted a reaction from the Mayor of Prishtina, Përparim Rama.

He published a video showing the moment when the giant banner with the inscription “Free Ukraine”, installed since the start of the war when Russia attacked Ukraine, is being removed.

Through a social media post, he said that when Kosovo is not respected, the municipality he leads will respond.

“The state of Kosovo must be respected. When Kosovo is not respected, the capital Prishtina always responds in the same way.

Our empathy and solidarity will always be with peoples facing war, violence, and persecution. Because we, better than many others, know what it means to fight for freedom, dignity, and the right to exist as a state.

But no cause and no policy can be built by disparaging the statehood of Kosovo and the sacrifice of its people,” wrote the Mayor of Prishtina.
