The acting Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, at the 8th edition of the Ambassadors’ Conference, said that Serbia\u2019s efforts to undermine the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the state of Kosovo continue to pose a threat to our national security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kurti made these statements at an event organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, which launched today the 8th edition of the Ambassadors’ Conference, attended by Kosovo\u2019s diplomatic representatives from around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The acting Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, emphasized that Kosovo today has a diplomatic network wider than ever before, with a total of 53 different missions spread across six continents except Antarctica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the only department in our government that has a total of fifty-three different missions spread across six continents, except Antarctica, from Albania, North Macedonia, Montenegro to distant countries like Australia, Japan, Panama, and Senegal. We have thirty-four embassies, twelve general consulates, four special consulates, and one liaison office. Among these are new representations recently opened in Poland, Colombia, Malaysia, and near the Holy See in the Vatican. This wide distribution of missions, which is the broadest in the history of our Republic, simultaneously represents both an advantage and a challenge. He also warned that Serbia\u2019s attempts to damage Kosovo\u2019s image and sovereignty continue to be a constant challenge, spreading false messages around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kurti said that the activity of ambassadors is vital for protecting the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSerbia\u2019s efforts to undermine the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our state continue to pose a threat to our national security, with millions spent on lobbying and global communication, systematically spreading false messages to every corner of the world. Considering this challenging global and regional climate, your work as Kosovo\u2019s representatives is vital for affirming our country,\u201d<\/em> Kurti added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Meanwhile, the acting Minister of Foreign Affairs, Donika G\u00ebrvalla, presented the ministry\u2019s internal reforms and Kosovo\u2019s international achievements over the past year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n G\u00ebrvalla emphasized that every euro of the budget is used with a clear, justified plan and full control, successfully reducing unnecessary expenses, redirecting funds toward strategic priorities, and strengthening accountability in every diplomatic mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis has been a fundamental reform, establishing new standards of transparency and responsible financial management. Today, every euro of the budget is used with a clear, justified plan and full control; we have succeeded in reducing unnecessary expenses, redirecting funds toward strategic priorities, and strengthening accountability in every diplomatic mission. The savings from operational expenses have been used to strengthen economic and public diplomacy, from supporting Kosovo businesses in foreign markets to promoting our country\u2019s image internationally. <\/em>In this framework, we have developed many cultural activities worldwide, presenting Kosovo as a new state with a rich heritage, contemporary creativity, and inexhaustible energy. During this year, we have also achieved two new recognitions of the Republic of Kosovo\u2019s statehood, strengthening our international position and proving that coordinated diplomatic work yields concrete results; We have also secured membership in a considerable number of international organizations, expanding the space where Kosovo is present and active\u2026 The diaspora remains one of the country\u2019s most valuable assets,\u201d <\/em>said G\u00ebrvalla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This edition of the Ambassadors’ Conference will last from August 11 to 13 of this year. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The acting Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, at the 8th edition of the Ambassadors’ Conference, said that Serbia\u2019s efforts to undermine the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the state of Kosovo continue to pose a threat to our national security.

The advantage is that it allows our state to have 53 voices around the world, pushing forward the most important interests of Kosovo and its citizens. Meanwhile, the main challenge is how to find a way for all your voices to not operate disconnected from each other but in full harmony, like a single choir with the Ministry here in Prishtina acting as the conductor,\u201d<\/em> said Kurti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
