Prime Minister Albin Kurti thanked all those who contributed to the liberation of the country and the path to independence. He expressed special gratitude to international partners and allies, to whom he said they will be forever grateful.
"We are grateful to all those who have contributed to our liberation struggle and our independence process. Special thanks to our international partners and allies for our common journey of state consolidation and the international subjectivity of our Republic. We are always and forever grateful to them", said Kurti at the festive meeting of the Government.
Kurti said that Kosovo is the "common house", which was built with the support of the allies.
"After the devastating war of 1998-1999, we rebuilt our houses. With the support of our international allies, we built our common home, the Republic of Kosovo. A genuine parliamentary Republic, with justice and equality for its citizens, contributing to peace and guaranteeing peace. A state that has democratic values, respect for human rights and all minorities and social justice and solidarity at the core of every political and social course. A quarter of a century after the war, our Republic stands strong. We are proud because despite the challenges, our country is developing", said Kurti.
Kurti congratulated all the citizens of Kosovo on this day and said that the Republic of Kosovo was, is and will be the home of all its citizens, without distinction.
"Just like the day it was announced, 16 years ago, as well as today and every day thereafter, the Republic of Kosovo was, is and will be the home of all its citizens, without distinction. Therefore, today we celebrate and wish and congratulate not only the Albanians, but also the non-majority communities in our Republic, the Serbs, Bosnians, Turks, Roma, Ashkali, Egyptians, Gorans, but also Montenegrins, Croats, etc., Kurti added.
