The President of the Republic of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani, today met with the U.S. Ambassador to Kosovo, Jeff Hovenier, for a farewell meeting. During this meeting, Osmani and Hovenier laid flowers at the statue of President Ibrahim Rugova, where they also made statements to the media, as reported by Gazeta Express.
Osmani mentioned that on the day when Ambassador Hovenier presented his credentials as ambassador, they had placed wreaths at the statue of Rugova, and they were closing this chapter in the same way, by placing flowers once again after the farewell meeting.
The President expressed her pleasure in working with Hovenier for three years and highlighted Rugova as a role model, emphasizing that protecting sovereignty and protecting alliances go hand in hand and are closely interconnected.
“On the first day when Ambassador Hovenier presented his credentials, we placed flowers at the statue of President Rugova, and we are closing it the same way here at the monument, honoring President Rugova, the founding father of our Republic, the man who proved that protecting sovereignty and protecting alliances go hand in hand and are closely intertwined,” Osmani said.
