German Ambassador Jorn Rohde expresses deep gratitude to the people and leaders of Kosovo for their solidarity following the deadly Christmas market attack in Magdeburg, Germany, which claimed five lives, including a child.
On Friday evening in Magdeburg, Germany, a horrifying incident occurred when a car drove into a Christmas market at high speed, plowing into the crowd. The devastating attack resulted in the deaths of five people, including a nine-year-old child, and left dozens more injured.
In the wake of this tragic event, Kosovo’s institutional leaders and citizens expressed their heartfelt solidarity with Germany. The outpouring of support from Kosovo was widely acknowledged, including by the German Ambassador to Kosovo, Jorn Rohde.
“I want to thank all the people of Kosovo for the messages of solidarity we received over the past two days,” Rohde said. “It is with deep sorrow that we mourn the events in Magdeburg, but we are also deeply grateful for the meaningful moments shared at our concert in Gjakova, reminding us of what truly matters: love and peace, not hatred and violence.”
Kosovo’s quick response to the tragedy in Germany reflects the close ties and shared values between the two nations, emphasizing the importance of unity in times of crisis. The people of Kosovo have once again demonstrated their commitment to standing by Germany in the face of such senseless violence.
The German Ambassador’s heartfelt thanks underscore the strong bond between Kosovo and Germany, with Kosovo offering emotional and diplomatic support in the aftermath of this devastating attack.
