The SEECP Summit will also focus on recent developments in Europe, including the war in Ukraine, as well as their impact on countries in the region.

During the SEECP Summit, Osmani will have a bilateral meeting with the Summit host, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, as well as other participants. The President will attend the official dinner of the Summit with the Chancellor of Germany Olaf Scholz and the President of the EU Council Charles Michel, as announced by the Presidency.

In this SEECP Summit, Osmani will also talk about the role that the Republic of Kosovo is playing in maintaining peace and stability in the region; the importance of regional cooperation based on the principles of equality and inclusion, as well as the need to accelerate the Euro-Atlantic perspective for Kosovo and other democratic countries in the region
