MFA Kosova 🇽🇰

Kënaqësi të takoj për herë të parë zyrtarisht homologun dhe mikun tim, @hoxhafer. Një bisedë e hapur dhe shumë përmbajtësore për forcimin e bashkëpunimit Kosovë-Shqipëri, dhe rrugën euro-atlantike të Kosovës. Vlerësova mbështetjen e vazhdueshme të Shqipërisë dhe angazhimin e diplomacisë shqiptare në avancimin e subjektivitetit ndërkombëtar të Kosovës. Në kuadër të Samitit të Diasporës, diskutuam edhe për një qasje më të koordinuar të dy qeverive, në angazhimin e diasporës shqiptare për arritjen e potencialit të jashtëzakonshëm që mund ta kemi si komb përmes saj. Kosova dhe Shqipëria përveç se ndajnë gjuhën, historinë e sakrificën, ndajnë dhe një të ardhme të përbashkët, të cilën do të vazhdojmë ta ndërtojmë së bashku.

Wishing a peaceful and blessed Orthodox Easter to all who celebrate. A day that marks hope and renewal, and reminds us of the strength we find in standing together. Wishing peace and happiness on this special day!

Today, we mourn the passing of Congressman Eliot Engel, one of the greatest friends of Kosova. Among the earliest and strongest voices in the U.S. Congress, he spoke out against Milosevic’s genocidal regime and championed international intervention when it mattered most. As co-founder of the Albanian Issues Caucus in 1989, he played a key role in shaping sustained U.S. engagement with Kosova. His legacy lives on in our freedom. Rest in peace.

Deeply saddened by the tragic school shooting in Kahramanmaraş, Türkiye, which comes just one day after another shooting in Şanlıurfa. I mourn the victims, including children and a teacher, and extend my heartfelt condolences to their families, to my colleague, FM @HakanFidan, and to the people of Türkiye, while wishing a full and swift recovery to those wounded. Kosova stands with you in this painful moment. 🇽🇰🇹🇷 @MFATurkiye

Joined Foreign Ministers from over 40 countries in today’s high-level call on the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, initiated and chaired by UK Foreign Secretary @YvetteCooperMP. Disruptions in the Strait are not confined to the region; they affect global supply chains, energy markets and economic stability, including in countries like ours. Kosova reaffirms its commitment to freedom of navigation and the protection of civilian shipping and we condemn Iran's attacks that have undermined these principles. In line with our partners, I join in calling for the safe reopening of the Strait of Hormuz as soon as possible. International action remains essential. Thank you @YvetteCooperMP for convening this discussion.

In Bogota, I also met with Deputy Minister of Defense Javier Baquero and representatives from culture, education, sport and agriculture ministries, exploring concrete avenues to deepen cooperation across key sectors and strengthen 🇽🇰🇨🇴 ties.

In Bogota, we signed 3 key agreements with my counterpart Paula Andrea Cerón Arboleda: visa waiver for diplomatic & official passports, political consultations, and cooperation between diplomatic academies, an important step in deepening 🇽🇰🇨🇴 ties.

Together with DM Hoyos, I signed the visa waiver agreement for diplomatic and official passports, an important step in advancing 🇽🇰 🇵🇦 ties. We also explored opportunities for cooperation, particularly in tourism and higher education, as we work to deepen our partnership further

🇽🇰 🇵🇦 A thorough exchange with Vice Minister Astrid Ábrego González on unlocking new avenues for economic cooperation. We discussed strengthening B2B links, expanding collaboration in information technology, and leveraging Panama’s expertise in logistics and trade.

A substantive discussion with Chair Walkiria Chandler D’Orcy on strengthening parliamentary cooperation. The establishment of the Kosovo–Panama Friendship Group will serve as a concrete step toward deepening institutional ties and enhancing collaboration between our two countries

Had a very productive meeting with Minister María Eugenia Herrera, where we explored ways to advance cultural cooperation between 🇽🇰 🇵🇦. We discussed the participation of the 🇽🇰 National Ballet in 🇵🇦, as well as broader opportunities for joint cultural initiatives and exchanges

Had a productive meeting with 🇸🇻 Minister of Culture, Mr. Raúl Rosales, where we explored avenues to deepen cultural cooperation, with emphasis on the restoration and conservation of cultural heritage, an area where closer collaboration can bring lasting benefits to both nations.

Today marks 27 years since the launch of Operation Allied Force, when @NATO acted to stop the ethnic cleansing carried out by Milošević’s genocidal regime in Kosova. It was also a defining moment of recognition: the efforts of the KLA and the people of Kosova were affirmed internationally as a just struggle to defend freedom, life, human rights, and democracy. Almost three decades after, as Kosova continues to advance toward its rightful place in NATO and towards contributing to the security of the Euro-Atlantic community, we remember this day with deep gratitude to our allies. The partnership between Kosova and NATO is built on shared values and continues to guide our path forward.

Excellent exchange with @AdrianaMiraSV on advancing cooperation between 🇽🇰 and 🇸🇻. We explored a broad range of opportunities and I am pleased that we formalized this momentum through the signing of MoUs on bilateral consultations and cultural cooperation.

Deeply saddened by the tragic aircraft accident involving the Colombian Aerospace Force near Puerto Leguízamo in Putumayo, Colombia. We express our solidarity with the people of Colombia and extend our sincere condolences to all those affected by this tragedy. The Republic of Kosova stands with the Government of Colombia, FM @ryvillavicencio, DM @PedroSanchezCol, and the Colombian people. 🇽🇰🤝🇨🇴

Zhvillova një bisedë shumë produktive me mikun tim, Ministrin për Evropën dhe Punët e Jashtme të Shqipërisë, @HoxhaFer. E falënderova për mbështetjen e vazhdueshme ndaj Kosovës, si dhe për konfirmimin se vendi ynë është dhe do të jetë prioritet i përhershëm i politikës së jashtme të Shqipërisë. Biseduam për hapat konkretë në rrugën evropiane të Kosovës, përfshirë avancimin e procesit për marrjen e statusit të vendit kandidat në BE, si dhe për intensifikimin e bashkëpunimit institucional për shtyerjen para të projekteve konkrete të perbashkëta kombëtare. Marrëdhenia jonë vëllazërore është një garanci e fortë për avancimin e interesit kombëtar shqiptar. 🇽🇰🇦🇱

We welcome today’s confirmation by the @EU_Commission at the @EP_ForeignAff Committee: all EU measures on Kosova have been lifted and all previously suspended financial assistance has been released. We expect this to open a new phase of constructive engagement and concrete progress on our EU path. 🇽🇰🇪🇺

Proud to see Luana Bajrami-Rahmani and the team behind “Two People Exchanging Saliva” win the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film. Born in Kosova and rising from acclaimed roles in European cinema to directing her own films, Luana has built a remarkable career between Kosova, France and the international film stage. Her success reflects the creativity and ambition of our youth, and the extraordinary contributions that our diaspora continues to bring to the world. 🇽🇰🎬

We welcome the decision of @EU_CoR to discontinue the use of “Kosovo*” and its accompanying footnote in its public documents. This step aligns the Committee with the European Parliament and reflects greater institutional clarity regarding Kosova’s European perspective. Special thanks to Gillian Coughlan, Chair of the Kosova Working Group at @EU_CoR and Rapporteur on Enlargement, for her principled support and continued engagement on Kosova. 🇽🇰🇪🇺

Deeply saddened by the tragic accident in Kerzers, Canton of Fribourg, Switzerland. Kosova feels this loss with particular closeness. Our countries share a deep bond through the many families from Kosova who have built their lives in Switzerland. My thoughts are with the families of those who lost their lives, the injured, and the people of Switzerland in this difficult moment. 🇽🇰🇨🇭
