Prishtina, 7 September 2022
The Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, has sent a congratulatory letter to Mrs Liz Truss, on the occasion of her appointment as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
Our continent faces many challenges that require a coordinated response and I feel relieved by the clear vision that you emphasized in our two meetings at the beginning of this year, wrote Prime Minister Kurti.
As we face the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, the energy crisis and the rising cost of living, along with Russia’s growing authoritarianism and unprovoked aggression against Ukraine, we look forward to your leadership in helping Europe and the rest of the world navigate these difficult times. Please be sure that, as you do this, you can rely on the partnership, cooperation and solidarity of Kosovo, the prime minister wrote further.
He expressed the gratitude of the Republic of Kosovo for the support of the United Kingdom in our liberation struggle against a genocidal regime.
At the end of the congratulatory letter, Prime Minister Kurti invited Prime Minister Truss to visit Kosovo, at the first suitable opportunity for her.
Prime Minister Kurti’s full letter:
Dear Prime Minister,
On behalf of the Republic of Kosovo, I congratulate you on your election at the head of the Conservative and Unionist Party and on your appointment by Her Majesty, the Queen, as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
Our continent faces multiple challenges that require a coordinated response, and I am relieved by the clear vision you outlined in our two meetings earlier this year.
As we face the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, the energy crisis and the rising cost of living, along with Russia’s growing authoritarianism and unprovoked aggression against Ukraine, we look forward to your leadership in helping Europe and the rest of the world navigate these difficult times. Please be sure that, as you do this, you can rely on the partnership, cooperation and solidarity of Kosovo.
The United Kingdom holds a special place in the hearts and minds of the people of Kosovo because you supported us in our liberation struggle against a genocidal regime. We will never forget; and we are forever grateful.
Our government is working hard to deliver on its promises of jobs and justice for our citizens by investing in human capital, closing the skills gap by reviving the quality of our education, and reforming the justice system.
Prime Minister, I have the honour to welcome you to Kosovo at the first opportunity that is convenient for you. Please accept my warmest wishes and highest consideration as you take on this crucial role in these challenging times.
