In response, Konjufca used the social media platform “X” to address the remarks.
He stated that Kosovo has provided support to Ukraine since the onset of the Russian aggression, even in light of Kyiv’s non-recognition of its statehood. Konjufca wrote, “We take with regret consideration President Zelenskyy’s statements in Belgrade, where he reaffirmed Ukraine’s non-recognition of the Republic of Kosovo.”
The statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs highlighted several measures undertaken by Kosovo in support of Ukraine. These actions included the implementation of various sanctions.
