Rraci: Our mission is to remain a bridge of communication, trust and human connection
“For the Post, a postage stamp is not merely a philatelic element; it is history in miniature. It is a message that travels through time, connects people and nations, and preserves the events and values that deserve to be remembered from generation to generation. Postage stamps are regarded as one of the most authentic forms of preserving historical memory and promoting state identity in the international arena. Even in a time of major technological transformations, Kosovo Post continues to proudly preserve the philatelic tradition while at the same time providing universal postal service accessible to every citizen of our country. This is our mission: to remain a bridge of communication, trust and human connection,” said Nora Rraci.
Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo Albin Kurti described the stamp as a sign of the enduring friendship and partnership between Kosovo and the United States of America.
According to him, in addition to marking this important American jubilee, the postage stamp also confirms the excellent relations between the two countries, as well as appreciation for the decisive support that the US has given Kosovo in the processes of state-building, strengthening democratic institutions, security and the country’s development.
Kurti: This stamp serves as a symbolic affirmation of the strong partnership and excellent relations between our two countries
“But beyond this important date, this stamp also serves as a symbolic affirmation of the strong partnership and excellent relations between our two countries. The continued support of the United States of America for Kosovo has been decisive in our state-building processes and in the consolidation of democratic institutions, and this support continues to play a vital role in the security and development of our country. Dear attendees, when our descendants celebrate on July 4, 2076 the 300th anniversary of the independence of the United States of America, perhaps we will no longer be here, and perhaps postage stamps will no longer exist. But one thing is certain: our alliance, the partnership between the Republic of Kosovo and the United States of America, will continue to live on, just as strong and enduring as it is today,” Albin Kurti stressed.
On behalf of the United States Embassy in Kosovo, Deputy Chief of Mission Anu Prattipati expressed gratitude to Kosovo Post for this initiative, which she described as an honor for the American people.

“Kosovo’s issuance of this stamp today is an honor for us. Every letter found on it conveys a story of freedom and friendship between us. To Kosovo Post, I want to say that you have created something that will endure for many years. Years after today, people, citizens, will look at this postage stamp and remember that Kosovo and the United States stood together for freedom. As America marks the 250th anniversary of independence, we express our gratitude to our allies such as Kosovo, a nation that understands the value of sovereignty, democracy and lasting cooperation. On behalf of the United States Embassy and the American people, I thank you very much for this honor and for your friendship,” said Prattipari.
This ceremony was organized as part of the 250th anniversary of the Independence of the United States of America.
