Prime Minister Albin Kurti organized a reception for compatriots at the Government`s Open Balcony.

During his speech, he congratulated the 25th anniversary of the liberation of Kosovo and expressed gratitude for those who sacrificed for freedom.

He stated, "The will, the patriotism, the readiness, our emigrants have always had, and for this, we have witnesses to you, the families, the relatives, those who are there and come here like you. Several times a year, not only this year, and this is not debatable. What the emigrant lacked was the state in her arms and the institutional infrastructure to turn her inexhaustible will, exemplary patriotism, and permanent readiness into the development of the country for more rights, and for more well-being. And our government knows this very well. We commit to this every day."

He highlighted some of the main initiatives during this administration to facilitate the provision of services to expatriates. These initiatives include new fees for consular services, involvement in the institutional life in the country through the Citizen Diplomacy Program, investment opportunities through the Diaspora Investment Window, online registration of emigrants through the Ediaspora platform for the first time, and welcoming programs and platforms such as "Taste Kosovo" which aims to strengthen the connection of emigrants with the country.

This reception was organized within the framework of the "Taste Kosovo" platform, in celebration of Diaspora Day.
