She delivered a sober assessment of the volatile situation between the two neighbouring states amid overarching fears of a dangerous situation brewing in the Balkans.
Tensions have flared up repeatedly between pro-European Kosovo and Russian-linked Serbia as the shadow of the war in Ukraine is cast over Europe.
Ms Osmani told The Sun Online that while she still thinks a full-scale invasion is at this stage unlikely - she is troubled by the Putin-esque tactics being used by Serbia and its Russian linked President Aleksandr Vučić.
She compared the brewing situation to when Russia first annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014.
Ms Osmani said Mr Vučić is "deeply connected" with Putin - and she has previously accused Serbia of planning an operation to grab Kosovar territory, just like Russia did in Crimea.
Serbia and Kosovo's border has historically been one of the most incendiary in the Balkans.
Paramilitary groups, feared to be backed by the Serbian state and supported by Putin's war criminal mercenaries The Wagner Group, are active in the north Kosovo.
Ms Osmani compared them to Putin's infamous "little green men" deployed in Crimea - soldiers who bore no insignia and spearheaded Putin's annexation.
Mr Vučić also has some 48 military bases around his nation's border with Kosovo - just as Russia massed its forces before steaming into Crimea in 2014 and again into wider Ukraine in 2022.
"I believe he is showing what his intention is," she told The Sun Online at The Assembly Building.
Serbia is also be feared to be arming and funding paramilitary groups, just as Putin did to the breakaway pro-Russian forces in the Donbas after taking Crimea.
Ms Osmani warned: "All of this shows that it's the exact same plan."
And the language being used by some Serbian politicians is also eerily similar to Putin’s remarks on Ukraine.
Chilling rhetoric from within Mr Vučić’s ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) saw one MP calling from the "denazification of the Balkans” - a popular trope often used by Putin to justify his bloodshed.
Ms Osmani urged the West to continue to support them, warning conflict in the Balkans will further destabilise an already fragile Europe.
"This is not a faraway problem," she told The Sun Online.
"Peace in the Western Balkans is very much connected to peace in London, in New York, in Washington, in Paris, in Berlin, because history shows that the lack of peace and security in Europe is lack of peace and security internationally.
"And that lack of peace and security in the Western Balkans means a destabilised Europe."
Ms Osmani has said it's difficult to “understand the mind of autocrats” like Mr Vučić - saying while the invasion threat seems low now, that could change.
