Kosovo President Vjosa Osmani said on Wednesday that taking office as President of the Republic five years ago was not the pinnacle of her career, but only the beginning.
Osmani made this statement at an event for Women's Week in Pristina, a few days before she ends her mandate as head of state.
"Five years ago, when I took office, I did not see it as the culmination of my journey, but as a beginning. It was that moment when responsibility began and I did not take power as a privilege but as a service," said Osmani.
According to Osmani, her five-year tenure at the head of state was a period when institutions were strengthened and space for women increased.
However, she also mentioned what she called a smear campaign against her, which she said took place recently, after she dissolved the Assembly by presidential decree.
Although she did not mention names, the head of state said that when propaganda can turn someone into a traitor overnight, then the entire democracy is at risk.
"In recent weeks, my work has been exposed as a smear campaign. It is an attempt to strip a person of their human dignity. When propaganda can turn anyone into a traitor overnight, then the whole of democracy is at risk," she said.
