Reporter, BBC: So speaking in terms like this of Vladimir Putin, is there not a danger in a way that both language and accusations would actually escalate the situation?
Our accusations are not the ones that scale the situation. It's their actions that are escalating the situation and creating tensions.
So, practically if we tell the truth about the intentions of Russia and Serbia, it will not negatively affect.
I don't believe it helps the situation of authorities and genocide regimes like the one in Russia”, Osmani says.
BBC: But wouldn't it be better to take a longer pause to have more conversations?
“We are negotiating for the last 12 years and Kosovo has always been positive. We've always responded to dialogue and haven't left the table of dialogue and we've been a constructive side.
And we have signed agreements that we are respecting. Serbia is making the opposite”, Osmani says.
BBC: Is there no danger that Kosovo will become a kind of war victim in Ukraine. Risk is you're kind of involved in this.
Kosovo is a success story of what the democratic world can achieve, stands against tyranny and against genocide regimes. Kosovo is a story of success with developed democracy and a developing economy.
Serbia and Russia are interested in bringing tension to the region. We're not gonna tolerate this.
We will not fall prey to these provocations, we will not promote them, we will work with our partners that scenario, which has just described as not happening”, Osmani says. /Periscopi
