Former President of Kosovo, Atifete Jahjaga, announced that she participated in the Global Summit in Erie, Pennsylvania, where she had the opportunity to meet former U.S. President Barack Obama.
In a Facebook post, Jahjaga wrote that at the summit she spoke about “addressing the consequences of the war during her mandate as President of Kosovo.”
“On the sidelines of the summit, I had the honor of meeting President Barack Obama, whom I thanked for the extraordinary support he provided to Kosovo during my mandate, as well as for the continued commitment of the United States to our country. I requested from President Obama further engagement in strengthening the U.S.-Kosovo relationship, which has been challenged recently with the suspension of the strategic dialogue. I also sought his help and support in consolidating our statehood on the international stage.
Kosovo has never had and will never have a greater ally than the United States of America and the American people. Thanks to this partnership, we today enjoy freedom, independence, international recognition, and membership in numerous global organizations. For this, we remain forever grateful,” Jahjaga wrote.
