The Acting Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, attended the Central Service of the Evangelical Protestant Church “Fellowship of God’s People” on the occasion of the Thanksgiving holiday, held at the church’s premises.

According to a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office, in his address Kurti said that gratitude is a reminder of work, care, and community — the values that bring us closer together and teach us to look not only beyond ourselves, but also above ourselves.

On this occasion, he thanked the staff of the “Fellowship of God’s People” Church and Pastor Artur Krasniqi for their dedicated work within the community, for helping those in need, and for their active engagement in the life of the city.

“This fellowship shows that faith does not stand apart from public life, but helps make it more humane and just,” Kurti said, adding that in Kosovo, religious pluralism is a treasure because it represents coexistence and cooperation. He emphasized that this day is proof that beyond differences, what unites people is the will to do good and to care for one another.

Kurti went on to underline that, just like religious communities, the Government too has the duty to serve.

“From Latin, the word minister means servant — which means that a deputy minister is a deputy servant, and the prime minister is the chief servant,” he stated.

Facing daily challenges such as poverty, inequality, injustice, and the need to improve living conditions, Kurti stressed that every individual carries a share of the collective responsibility.
