Thanks @SelfForCongress Thank you Congressman Keith Self 🇺🇸🇽🇰

Finally a strong voice in Washington saying clearly what many in Europe still refuse to understand:

There can be no permanent strategic partnership with countries that deny the independence of the Republic of Kosovo.

Kosovo is one of the most pro-American and pro-NATO nations in Europe. Kosovo stood with the Free World. The Free World must stand with Kosovo.

I fully support linking military and financial support to recognition of Kosovo.

No recognition = no privileges.

Greece, Slovakia, Romania, Spain and Cyprus should finally recognize Kosovo now.

Kosovo is independent. Kosovo is democratic. Kosovo is European. Kosovo is here to stay.

Thank you Congressman Self for your leadership and courage.

Sending prayers and solidarity to President @realDonaldTrump, the First Lady @MELANIATRUMP, and the American people following last night’s cowardly attack at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

We trust in the resilience of the United States and its institutions, and we remain steadfast partners in promoting peace, security, and stability worldwide.

We are grateful for the bravery of the U.S. Secret Service agents who acted swiftly and heroically to protect the President and all those present. Their courage helped prevent a national tragedy.

The United States remains the greatest defender of freedom and democracy. No act of violence will ever diminish that.

[Alicia Kearns MP @aliciakearns]

Today President @VjosaOsmaniPRKS ends her mandate.

She gave Kosovo a respected voice and elevated its international standing. Above all, she championed her country’s cause with extraordinary skill, and enormous love for the people she served. Her heart shone through in everything she did.

At a moment of acute instability in the Western Balkans, this is exactly the wrong time to lose a leader of her calibre. Kosovo needs the resolve and bridge-building she demonstrated.

I wish President Osmani every success in her future -

I would be glad to share my article on the UK’s leading conservative platform, offering a conservative perspective on the issue of emigration.

SECRETARY RUBIO: "Let me explain to you guys, this- in simple English, okay? Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics. They have an ambition to have nuclear weapons."

"They intend to develop those nuclear weapons behind a program of missiles and drones and terrorism, that the world will not be able to touch them for fear of those things. And this is the weakest they've ever been. Now is the time to go after them."

Defend Kosovo

@aliciakearns Thank you 🙏😊🇽🇰🇬🇧🇦🇱

[Alicia Kearns MP @aliciakearns]

A real joy to be in Kosovo to celebrate its 18th Independence Day Celebrations!

Kosovo’s friends must stand by her in defence of self-determination, peace and our shared security.

A beacon of democracy in a difficult neighbourhood, we cannot stand by while imperialist ambitions threaten security across the Balkans.

US President Trump to Kosovo's President Osmani:

The United States remains steadfast in its support for Kosovo's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

On behalf of the people of the United States, I extend my congratulations to you and to the people of Kosovo as you celebrate your independence on February 17.

As the relationship between our nations continues to grow, we look forward to expanding our partnership including through increased trade and investment that advances shared prosperity.

This is a great speech. Worth watching the whole thing.

I call to isolate Serbia and expell SNS from EPP

[Gurakuç Kuçi @gurakuqkuqi]

For years, this issue has circulated through analyses and reports, but it has rarely been stated clearly . The Telegraph does so openly: Serbian nationalists are fighting in Ukraine alongside Russia, driven by propaganda, hostility toward the West, and the belief that supporting Moscow will one day be “repaid” in Kosovo.

This is not just a story from the Ukrainian battlefield. It has a direct connection to the Balkans.

Recruitment happens openly through Telegram, TikTok, and other platforms, where Russia is portrayed as a protector, NATO as an enemy, and violence is romanticized. Veterans of the wars of the 1990s appear as authority figures for newly radicalized youth. Ideology and material incentives move in parallel.

This phenomenon does not exist in isolation. Symbols associated with the Wagner mercenary group have also been observed in northern Kosovo, particularly during periods of heightened tension between 2022 and 2024.

In 2022, a Wagner-linked center was opened in Serbia, officially presented as cultural and humanitarian. Although it was later closed under international pressure, the message was clear and recruitment continued: Serbia was seen as fertile ground for influence operations, propaganda, and radicalization networks with the permission of government and intelligence.

Added to this context is the Russian center in Nis, officially labeled as humanitarian, but viewed for years by Western governments as a potential Russian intelligence asset.

The core problem is not only that these individuals go to war. The real problem is their return. The Balkans know well the cost of ignoring such warning signs.

Ukraine is today’s front.

The question is whether the Balkans are preparing to ensure they do not become tomorrow’s.

We’re stuck in Labour’s advent calendar of misery.

⬇️ Growth down
⬆️ Unemployment up
🥼 Doctors striking again
🇺🇸 US tech deal collapsed

…and there’s more bad news to come. 🫣

Britain needs the Conservatives to sort out this mess and get the country working again.

[Kaltrina Kamberi @ThisisKaltri]

Albanians in Presheva, Bujanoc & Medvegjë face SYSTEMATIC and DELIBERATE human rights violations such as address passivation to erase them from civil registries, loss of IDs, voting and health rights, non recognition of diplomas, hate speech and exclusion from state institutions. 🚨This is state driven ETHNIC DISCRIMINATION.

We all witness everyday how Serbia's politicians play the “victimcard", claiming Serbs rights are violated in Kosovo, while in reality Serbs in Kosovo enjoy more rights than the Albanian majority, including long tolerated privileges such as decades of unpaid municipal obligations. This is pure HYPOCRISY and a dangerous double standard.

Albanians in the Presheva Valley, despite being the indigenous majority, are denied even the most basic rights. International silence only enables this injustice. Immediate action is needed from the EU, UN, OSCE and the US.

Enough is enough!!!!
