Haxhiu, Kurti and Konjufca welcome Kosovo’s diplomats in Pristina

Ambassadors and consuls of Kosovo serving in various countries around the world were welcomed in Pristina by Kosovo’s Acting President, Albulena Haxhiu.

Also attending the reception were Acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti and Acting Foreign Minister Glauk Konjufca.

Haxhiu said she had thanked the diplomats for their year-round efforts to represent Kosovo.

According to her, this work is often not immediately visible, while it requires patience, perseverance and many conversations before a result is achieved.

She underlined that diplomacy cannot rely solely on the reaction of the moment, particularly at a time when interests and alliances are changing rapidly.

Haxhiu said it takes time for others to get to know you and build trust before the moment comes when their support is needed.

She noted that many people who know Kosovo from afar continue to associate it with the war, the declaration of independence or the latest news they have seen.

According to Haxhiu, Kosovo’s diplomats work every day to ensure that perceptions of the country are not limited to these events, but also reflect the Kosovo of today.

She also expressed gratitude to the diplomats’ families, including the children who are forced to change schools and the spouses who, whenever their posting changes, adapt their lives to a new and unfamiliar country.
