Dua Lipa was named Honorary Ambassador of Kosovo at a ceremony held over the weekend.
Yesterday (August 6), the 26-year-old “Future Nostalgia” artist, who spent part of her childhood in Kosovo and has Kosovar-Albanian parents, shared a photo gallery from the ceremony, which includes an official invitation, certificate and decorated with a medal from the President of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani.
In the caption, Lipa noted: “It is an honor and a privilege to be able to represent my country around the world and to continue my work and efforts around the world to see that we leave our mark and we make a difference.
“The youth of Kosovo deserve the right to visa liberalization, the freedom to travel and dream big.”
On his personal Instagram account, Osmani also shared images of the ceremony. Writing in Albanian, Osmani said: “Today I gave the title of Honorary Ambassador of the Republic of Kosovo to Dua Lipa, because she continues to honor our country at every step and in every way.
“She is an inspiration and a role model for girls all over the world. She is using her voice and her incredible talent not only to give the songs that influence the world, but also to put the best image of Kosovo present anywhere.” The world.”
Osmani also acknowledged Lipa’s father, Dukagjin, who, together with the pop star, founded the four-day Sunny Hill Festival, which celebrated its third edition in the Kosovo capital, Prisitina, on Thursday (August).
Lipa reiterated her gratitude to the President again, commenting on her post, “I am very honored, thank you.”
Before the opening of the Sunny Hill Festival in 2018, Lipa received the first key to the city of Pristina. In a tweet that Lipa showed alongside then-Mayor Shpend Ahmeti, she wrote: “It was a great honor to receive the first key to the city of Pristina, Kosovo… Thank you for your endless support.”
