Dublin, 12 November, 2026
During a round-table discussion held yesterday afternoon in Dublin, the Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, addressed challenges to European security, the defense of democracy, and the importance of peace within the current geopolitical context.
In the course of the discussion, Prime Minister Kurti emphasized that Europe is at war—a conflict manifested not only through Russian aggression in Ukraine but also via kinetic attacks, hybrid warfare, and threats to critical infrastructure.
Prime Minister Kurti stated that hybrid warfare does not replace conventional warfare but may serve as a preparatory phase for it, stressing that peace requires continuous effort, reconstruction, and justice.
Prime Minister Kurti said that democracy is protected through the rule of law and respect for human rights, and highlighted the importance of protecting social criticism from conspiracy theories and the danger that populism poses to democratic systems.
