Osmani reacts to the Kurti-Mickoski conference: Regret how the airport incident

The Presidency of Kosovo has reacted again regarding the incident at the Skopje airport where the country's president, Vjosa Osmani, was involved.

The presidency said that the way this incident was handled yesterday at the joint conference of Prime Minister Albin Kurti and his Macedonian counterpart, Hristijan Mickoski, is regrettable.

"The way the incident against the Republic of Kosovo was handled in Skopje during yesterday's press conference is regrettable, because it has contributed even more to the propaganda against the Republic of Kosovo. What happened at the airport in Skopje was a clear violation of international rules recognized and applied worldwide, therefore the Presidency expects to be notified of the measures taken regarding these violations, as it was emphasized in the note of protest directed by the Republic of Kosovo", writes the Presidency.

She said that the reports from the Presidency and the Kosovo Police are finalized and accessible, alluding to Prime Minister Kurti's statement yesterday that he is waiting for the investigation and the report to fully clarify what happened in Skopje.

"The reports on the unprecedented incident at the Skopje Airport prepared by the Presidency and the Kosovo Police are already finalized and accessible, and have been for several days now. From these reports it is clearly understood that there is no request for deviation or circumvention of the rules, but on the contrary, respect and application of conventions and customary international law, and above all, respect for the Republic of Kosovo", wrote the Presidency.

Also, Osmani criticized the institutions of North Macedonia for how they handled this case.

"While we appreciate the expression of regret by the Prime Minister of North Macedonia, unfortunately, until now, at no time have the institutions of North Macedonia addressed the issues raised in the protest note related to the violation of customary international law in relation to the Republic of Kosovo, but on the contrary, openly and without any hesitation they have accepted such a violation. For this reason, additional reports and investigations are not needed for any factual situation, because they are completely irrelevant before the public acceptance of the institutions of North Macedonia that such a rule was imposed deliberately, despite the clear requirements of international law" , writes the Presidency.
