Americans are openly and unambiguously arming Albanians in Kosovo and Metohija. Türkiye is also involved, delivering heavy weapons and everything else.
There is one single goal: directly threatening the Republic of Serbia and its territorial integrity, and attacking the civilian population and the military-police structures of the Republic of Serbia.

—🗳 🇽🇰 NEW: Albin Kurti’s nationalist, centre-left Vetëvendosje movement has scored a sweeping victory in Kosovo’s early parliamentary elections, winning just under half of the vote and emerging far ahead of the Democratic Party of Kosovo and the Democratic League of Kosovo.
➡️ The result leaves Vetëvendosje only a few seats short of an outright majority, positioning Kurti to form a new government with support from minority parties and potentially end nearly a year of institutional paralysis triggered by the previous parliament’s failure to produce a stable coalition.
