Caretaker Prime Minister Albin Kurti stated that Kosovo seeks to contribute to global peace, emphasizing that the country’s participation in the Peace Board represents a continuation of its contribution to Gaza.
Kurti made these remarks in his first public comments regarding Kosovo’s involvement in the Peace Board since the participation agreement was signed. He recalled that Kosovo’s engagement began with its readiness to take part in the International Stabilization Force for Gaza, highlighting the country’s representation at a key international conference in Doha.
“We initially began with our participation in the International Stabilization Force for Gaza. Kosovo was represented at the conference in Doha, Qatar, by Lieutenant General Bashkim Jashari, Commander of the Kosovo Security Force (KSF),” Kurti said.
He stressed that Kosovo, as a republic, formally expressed its willingness to contribute to the International Stabilization Force, noting that the KSF is already internationally recognized for its expertise in search and rescue operations and demining, among other capabilities.
“Since we are participating in the International Stabilization Force, it was natural for us to also seek participation in political decision-making bodies,” Kurti added, underlining the importance of Kosovo having a voice not only on the ground but also at the strategic level.
Kosovo’s inclusion in the Peace Board, Kurti said, reflects the country’s growing international role and its commitment to peace, stability, and humanitarian engagement beyond its borders, particularly in regions affected by conflict such as Gaza.
