Pristina Mayor Përparim Rama announced the removal of the banner with the Ukrainian flag, emphasizing the importance of respecting Kosovo’s sovereignty. He noted that solidarity with peoples suffering from war should not diminish Kosovo’s statehood.
In the capital of the unrecognized Republic of Kosovo, a banner bearing the Ukrainian flag was removed from a local building. As Pristina Mayor Përparim Rama reported, the decision was related to the importance of respecting the country's sovereignty and statehood, UNN reports.
The state of Kosovo must be respected. When Kosovo is not respected, the capital, Pristina, responds! Our empathy and solidarity will always be with peoples facing war, violence and persecution. Because we, better than many others, know what it means to fight for freedom, dignity and the right to exist as a state
The mayor of Pristina added that "no cause and no policy can be built on belittling the statehood of Kosovo and the sacrifice of its people."
