The German Minister of Defense, Boris Pistorius, requested de-escalation of the situation between Kosovo and Serbia, calling for a return to the dialogue mediated by the European Union.
"We, taking into account the current tensions with Serbia, and the Serbian minority in Kosovo, make a clear appeal for prudence and caution", said the German minister on February 5 in Pristina.
In a press conference with the president of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani, the German minister said that "Kosovo should contribute to de-escalation of the situation, but Serbia also has a special role".
"As for the relations between Serbia and Kosovo, the demand of the day is de-escalation, the German chancellor has underlined that the future of the Western Balkans is in Europe, but this foresees dialogue and no one should and cannot have an interest in the tension further of the situation".
The President of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani, said that Serbia's state policy "constantly challenges the territorial integrity of Kosovo and engages in acts of aggression against Kosovo".
She added that "to prevent these attacks in the future, we need the support of Germany, as well as other Euro-Atlantic allies and partners".
She said it is time for Kosovo to join NATO, starting with the Partnership for Peace.
"Such a step would positively affect security, peace and stability in the entire Western Balkan region," she said.
