Quote: "At times when it matters where you stand, I expressed our full solidarity to President Zelenskyy. No one understands Ukraine’s pain, struggle and resilience better than the people of Kosovo," Osmani wrote.
"Nothing can stand in the way of a people’s will to be free. Glory to Ukraine," Kosovo’s President added.
At times when it matters where you stand, I expressed our full solidarity to President @ZelenskyyUa. No one understands Ukraine’s pain, struggle and resilience better than the people of Kosovo.

Details: The President of Kosovo did not comment on the content of the conversation with Zelenskyy. The Ukrainian side did not report on the meeting between the two leaders.
Background: Ukraine does not officially recognise Kosovo, a country that declared independence in 2008 and whose right to take this step was confirmed by the UN International Court of Justice.
Since then, about a hundred countries in the world have recognised Kosovo, while the rest consider it a part of Serbia, where the country is officially considered part of the region of Kosovo and Metohija.
