Prishtina, 6 February 2023
With great pain we received the news about the earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria, where many citizens lost their lives and caused great material damage. The first reports indicate extremely large consequences for people and residential buildings.
The Government of the Republic of Kosovo expresses its condolences to the families of the victims of the earthquake.
We hope that the number of victims will not increase in the coming hours and we wish the injured a speedy recovery.
The Republic of Kosovo and the people of Kosovo in these difficult moments are at the highest readiness for support and solidarity.
The Embassy of the Republic of Kosovo in Ankara will continue to receive information from the local authorities in the Republic of Turkey if there are our citizens in the affected cities and offer them the necessary support.
