TIRANA, February 17/ATA/ Prime Minister Edi Rama congratulated today the citizens of Kosovo on the 15th anniversary of Independence.
“Happy Independence Day”, wrote PM Rama in a post on social media.
The process for the final status of Kosovo officially began in November 2005. After comprehensive consultations, on February 2, 2007, the international special envoy for the status of Kosovo Martti Ahtisaari submitted his proposal to Pristina and Belgrade, for the conditional independence of Kosovo, a step that led to the creation of an independent state. After several rounds of talks were held, Kosovo was declared independent on February 17, 2008.
The then Prime Minister of Kosovo Hashim Thaçi made the declaration of Kosovo’s independence along with the members of the Assembly of Kosovo and the President of Kosovo, at the meeting held in Pristina on February 17, 2008./k.s/p.s./
