Prishtina, 8 December 2025
This morning, the acting Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, met with Philippe Collin, a French author, journalist, and radio producer, who was accompanied by the Ambassador of France, Olivier Guerot.
They discussed history and literature, and of course the current geopolitical landscape and social dynamics, particularly on our European continent.
Philippe Collin presented the Prime Minister with his novel published last year, titled “The Ritz Bartender”, which explores events from the Nazi occupation of France during the Second World War, based on the true story and experiences of bartender Frank Meier of the Ritz Hotel in Paris.
The Prime Minister thanked him for the conversation and the book, expressing his appreciation for today’s exchange and his respect for Collin’s creative work and professional contribution.
