The full statement to the media of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo, Albin Kurti:

On September 11, 2001, the world was shocked by the news and images of terrorist attacks that killed 2977 citizens and thus marked the most terrible terrorist attack that changed the world.

People of Kosovo stand by the American people. The United States of America demonstrated even after September 11 that they are a nation of free and equal people who do not compromise their values. 21 years later, we are honoring the memory of the victims and expressing our compassion and solidarity for that grave event, and for the families and the entire American nation.

We placed fresh flowers, along with the President of the Republic and the Deputy US Ambassador, at the memorial that commemorates this event and reminds us to never forget that freedom and democracy must always be protected because they are constantly threatened. May all of the victims rest in peace, and may the friendship and partnership that exists between the Republic of Kosovo and the United States of America endure forever.
